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.

Common problems we fix in Netherthorpe

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

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.
