When to call us in Rokeby
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel

About our bath repair in Rokeby
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rusty patches near the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
FAQs for Rokeby
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
