Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
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.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Advice
What affects the price in Rotherby
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rotherby. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rotherby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need bath repair in Rotherby?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
