Bath repair at your home in Saltburn
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Saltburn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Saltburn
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
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.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need bath repair in Saltburn?
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
