Bath repair across HD8: what to expect
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in HD8
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Common problems we fix in HD8
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
FAQs for HD8
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
