How bath repair works in HR9

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

What you will pay

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Landlords, agents and businesses in HR9

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in HR9 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

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