About bath repair in WA6
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common problems we fix in WA6
Rust generally 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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
