How we handle bath repair in Varchoel
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a chip where the taps sit and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can normally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings

- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are 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.
What we are called out for in Varchoel
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Varchoel questions
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Varchoel.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
