Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Bath repair in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and rusty patches near the plughole.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Saltburn-by-the-Sea
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Saltburn-by-the-Sea. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltburn-by-the-Sea
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Saltburn-by-the-Sea
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
