About our bath repair in Rookley Green
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and chips caused by builders.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Rookley Green
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
