Damaged bath in Castledykes? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath repair at your home in Castledykes
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chipped rim or side, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath repair in Castledykes?
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 steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped rim or side
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Castledykes
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Castledykes
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
