What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

What else we do in Rumford
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your photos
See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Common problems we fix in Rumford
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Common questions in Rumford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
How it works
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. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
