About our bath repair in Little Germany
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BD1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Little Germany
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Questions from Little Germany
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
