Bath repair in Ruswarp without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need bath repair in Ruswarp
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
