Advice
Bath repair in Byermoor, done in place
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. If you’re dealing with chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Byermoor as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
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 photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath repair in Byermoor?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Byermoor: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
