Bath repair in Flixborough Stather without replacing anything
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. You can generally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and holes from dropped items, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Repairing versus replacing in Flixborough Stather
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Flixborough Stather
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover Flixborough Stather?
We do. Technicians travel to Flixborough Stather from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Flixborough Stather. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Flixborough Stather. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Flixborough Stather, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
