Bath repair in Netherthorpe without replacing anything

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. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Netherthorpe questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the repair last?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S43 postcode.

What affects the price in Netherthorpe

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Netherthorpe

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What your bath is made of matters

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.
