Bath repair in Dury, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dury as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Dury, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

When to call us in Dury
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.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
What else we do in Dury
What affects the price in Dury
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dury. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common questions in Dury
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
