How we handle bath repair in Upton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Upton: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Do you work in Upton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Upton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. 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 is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the entire UK

Signs you need bath repair in Upton
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- 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.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
