How bath repair works in CH5

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

How the damage happens

Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Landlords, agents and businesses in CH5

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

CH5: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
