About our bath repair in Johnshaven
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Johnshaven
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Johnshaven use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What else we do in Johnshaven
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Johnshaven. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about bath repair in Johnshaven
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
