Landlords, agents and businesses in Motherby
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair at your home in Motherby
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or sides and chips under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath repair in Motherby
How much does bath repair cost in Motherby?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Motherby
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Motherby
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
