About our bath repair in Rusher's Cross
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Rusher's Cross
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace in Rusher's Cross?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Rusher's Cross customers choose us

- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Questions from Rusher's Cross
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
