How bath repair works in IV9
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Landlords, agents and businesses in IV9
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we’re called out for in IV9
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
Common reasons people in IV9 contact us are:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
What affects the price in IV9
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Questions from IV9
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does bath repair cost in IV9?
