Bath repair at your home in Billingley
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. If you are dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Your questions about bath repair in Billingley
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath repair in Billingley?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
