Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath repair in Rush Green, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and chips along the edge of the bath.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rush Green as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rush Green
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Rush Green
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you work in Rush Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rush Green. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rush Green. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs

- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Rush Green
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
