Bath repair in Rubislaw without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the day after. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips along the edge of the bath, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

Common questions in Rubislaw
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How the visit works

- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
