About bath repair in BT49
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips under the taps.
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
What we are called out for in BT49
Rust generally 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.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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 isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to care for the finish
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
BT49: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are there extra charges for BT49?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
