How we handle bath repair in Rushyford
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or sides and a cracked acrylic bath, in acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One price list for the entire UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish

What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we are called out for in Rushyford

Signs it’s time to call us include:

- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
Questions to ask before you book
