What happens if you find more damage?

Bath repair at your home in Murton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage beneath the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Murton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need bath repair in Murton
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
