Bath chip & crack repair in Rotherham
Damaged bath in Rotherham? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
How we handle bath repair in Rotherham
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.
FAQs for Rotherham
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Rotherham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your S60 postcode.
Signs you need bath repair in Rotherham
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Rotherham
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
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.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Everything repaired in place
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish
