How bath repair works in CH34
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about a kit repair that didn’t last and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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 following day.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
How the damage happens
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
CH34: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in CH34.
