Bath repair in Rivers' Corner without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rivers' Corner
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we are called out for in Rivers' Corner
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
Rivers' Corner questions
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
