How we handle bath repair in Strouden Park
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and chips under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

When to call us in Strouden Park
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Strouden Park contact us include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
