How we handle bath repair in Waterslack
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t 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.
Repair or replace in Waterslack?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Waterslack
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Waterslack. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath repair in Waterslack
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
