Bath repair at your home in Bentley
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Whether it’s chips under the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Bentley
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you come to Bentley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bentley and the rest of Doncaster. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?
Across the UK, and that includes Bentley. Prices don’t change with location.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath repair in Bentley
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes two to three hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bentley. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
