Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it

Bath repair in Sand Hole without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage beneath the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we’re called out for in Sand Hole
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

FAQs for Sand Hole
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?
Across the UK, so Sand Hole is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
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.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
