Bath repair at your home in Saltby
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath repair in Saltby
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Saltby. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Saltby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
