Bath repair in Rumbush, done in place

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and a chip where the taps sit.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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 is the part we put right.

What we’re called out for in Rumbush

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Rumbush

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your B94 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Rumbush customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

What affects the price in Rumbush

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price
