Bath Repair in Dent
Bath repair across Dent and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair at your home in Dent
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the rim or sides and a hole punched through by something heavy, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Dent?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Usually it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dent. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Dent
- Acrylic

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently 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, then guarantee it for a year.
Signs you need bath repair in Dent
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
FAQs for Dent
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Dent?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
