About bath repair in RH3
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in RH3
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in RH3, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What we’re called out for in RH3
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Common questions in RH3
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including RH3 and the rest of Surrey. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
