Questions from Markby
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Bath repair at your home in Markby
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips caused by builders, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before you book
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
