DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Etherley Grange
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Etherley Grange.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do you come to Etherley Grange?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Etherley Grange. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Do you need bath repair in Etherley Grange?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
