What affects the price in Rumford
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Rumford, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath repair at your home in Rumford
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Rumford
When to call us in Rumford
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

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.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
