About bath repair in UB5
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. 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 acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Prices in UB5

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What we’re called out for in UB5
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
FAQs for UB5
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
