You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

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.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What affects the price in Low Risby

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Low Risby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Low Risby

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Low Risby?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Common problems we fix in Low Risby

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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 early repairs matter.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair
