How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HD8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How we handle bath repair in Denby Dale
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. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
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.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

FAQs for Denby Dale
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HD8 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
