What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Strangeways, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Strangeways
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
