About our bath repair in Birthorpe
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and chips along the edge of the bath, in cast iron 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.

Birthorpe questions
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Birthorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Birthorpe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Birthorpe
If you manage property in Birthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG34 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Signs you need bath repair in Birthorpe
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Birthorpe customers choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Birthorpe

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
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 will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
