Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not 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.

Your questions about bath repair in Six Mile Bottom
Are there extra charges for Six Mile Bottom?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Signs you need bath repair in Six Mile Bottom
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
