About our bath repair in Weald
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Weald
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Common problems we fix in Weald

The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A chipped rim or side
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Weald
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Weald
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Weald and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
