Surface repairs across RM6

Bath repair at your home in RM6

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. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and cracks in an acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in RM6, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the damage happens

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

RM6: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
