Bath Repair for Sunset homes
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Sunset, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Bath repair at your home in Sunset
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We are frequently asked to fix hairline or through cracks in acrylic and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sunset as everywhere else we work.

Sunset questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Common problems we fix in Sunset
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Sunset. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sunset
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Sunset, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
