Bath repair in Firth without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Firth
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Our repair technicians cover all of the ZE2 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as Midlea, Leaside and Sandside and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover include Mossbank (1 mile north-east), Scatsta (4 miles west), Vidlin (6 miles south), Sullom (6 miles west) and Burravoe (6 miles north-east).

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Firth?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
For a price in Firth, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
