Bath repair in Salthouse, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Salthouse: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we are called out for in Salthouse
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
