Bath repair at your home in Rodeheath
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and holes from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Rodeheath: your questions answered
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Do you work in Rodeheath?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Rodeheath. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

What else we do in Rodeheath
Common problems we fix in Rodeheath
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
What affects the price in Rodeheath
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
