About our bath repair in Addingham
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and chips under the taps, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we’re called out for in Addingham
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Common questions in Addingham
Do you work in Addingham?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Addingham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
