About our bath repair in Rush Green
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Rush Green questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Rush Green?
We do. We send a technician to Rush Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rush Green
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
