How we handle bath repair in The Rock
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. We’re often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in The Rock and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from The Rock
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you work in The Rock?
We do. Repair technicians travel to The Rock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around The Rock, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in The Rock
Common problems we fix in The Rock
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
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.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
