How bath repair works in RG10
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
What it costs in RG10
Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to RG10. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for RG10. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Signs you need bath repair
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common questions in RG10
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you cover RG10?
We do. We send a technician to RG10 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
