Bath repair in Rushbury without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and snagging damage from a refit.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Rushbury
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

When to call us in Rushbury
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rushbury. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
FAQs for Rushbury
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Rushbury included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace in Rushbury?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rushbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
