Repairing versus replacing in Otley
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

FAQs for Otley
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Otley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we are called out for in Otley
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
