About our bath repair in Rushmere
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rushmere. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Rushmere
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rushmere as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about bath repair in Rushmere
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Common problems we fix in Rushmere
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 steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
