Bath repair in Sulhamstead Abbots, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sulhamstead Abbots. The price reflects:

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is

Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
