Bath repair across BB1: what to expect

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
4. We match both the colour and the shine.
5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

• Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
• Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
• Store metal items away from the bath
• Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
