We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath.

Landlord and trade work in Moorthorpe
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after 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 an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What else we do in Moorthorpe
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Do you need bath repair in Moorthorpe?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote

Repair or replace in Moorthorpe?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Moorthorpe: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
