How we handle bath repair in Moorby

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and rust by the waste and overflow.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Moorby

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Moorby?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Moorby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below

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

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Should you replace it?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Moorby. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

When to call us in Moorby

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
