Bath repair at your home in Aldborough
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldborough use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Aldborough
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Questions from Aldborough
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you cover Aldborough?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Aldborough. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
