Bath repair at your home in East Donyland
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we’re called out for in East Donyland
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in East Donyland
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Donyland. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in East Donyland
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How do I get a price for bath repair in East Donyland?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What affects the price in East Donyland
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
