Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our bath repair in East Sleekburn
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with rust spots around the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in East Sleekburn as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to East Sleekburn. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
