Bath repair at your home in BH3
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole.
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Prices in BH3

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
How the damage happens
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What affects the price in BH3
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

BH3: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you cover BH3?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to BH3. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
