What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
About our bath repair in Upper Bush
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the next day. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath repair in Upper Bush

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped rim or side

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Upper Bush
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Upper Bush?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Bush and the rest of Medway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Upper Bush. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
