Bath repair at your home in WD24
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about snagging damage from a refit and damage beneath the taps.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repair or replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Questions from WD24
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
