How bath repair works in CM22
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and chips on the rim or sides.
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the damage happens
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Questions from CM22
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
