Bath repair in Arbourthorne, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and deep scratches in acrylic.

Arbourthorne: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Signs you need bath repair in Arbourthorne
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sheffield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Arbourthorne?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Arbourthorne. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
