About our bath repair in Sandway
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and damage beneath the taps.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandway
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Sandway?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
- Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
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.
Questions from Sandway
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

- 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.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
