What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Bath repair in Rudyard without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix chips caused by builders and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Questions from Rudyard
Are there extra charges for Rudyard?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rudyard
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need bath repair in Rudyard
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
