When to call us in Moor Monkton Moor
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Moor Monkton Moor contact us are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

About our bath repair in Moor Monkton Moor
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
