About bath repair in HS6

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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.

Questions from HS6

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
