About our bath repair in Edenthorpe
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Edenthorpe
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you come to Edenthorpe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Edenthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlord and trade work in Edenthorpe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Edenthorpe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
