Bath repair for Ryeford homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

About our bath repair in Ryeford

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. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Ryeford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
