Bath repair at your home in Alkborough
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alkborough. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
If you are in Alkborough and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Alkborough
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Alkborough
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
FAQs for Alkborough
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are there extra charges for Alkborough?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
