Bath repair in Burton on the Wolds, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Burton on the Wolds. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

FAQs for Burton on the Wolds
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
