About our bath repair in Birleyhay
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
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.
When to call us in Birleyhay
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
Comparing quotes

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Birleyhay: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Birleyhay?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Sheffield. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you cover Birleyhay?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Birleyhay for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
