How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in High Melton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we’re called out for in High Melton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common questions in High Melton
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Doncaster.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in High Melton

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
