How we handle bath repair in Appleton Roebuck
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can usually put it right, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Appleton Roebuck
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage

- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

FAQs for Appleton Roebuck
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
