Bath repair in Farlesthorpe without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Farlesthorpe questions
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
When to call us in Farlesthorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers normally contact us about:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Farlesthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
