Bath repair in Dalby without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and a chip where the taps sit, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO60 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Questions from Dalby
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Dalby included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What else we do in Dalby

- How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
