How we handle bath repair in Rushford
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for rust spots around the plughole and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Rushford
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Rushford questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Rushford and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
