DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath repair in Ruscombe without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ruscombe. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Ruscombe
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Signs you need bath repair in Ruscombe
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ruscombe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
