Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before booking

Bath repair at your home in Sandygate
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most often call us about rust by the waste and overflow and impact holes in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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.
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 get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you’re in Sandygate and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Sandygate: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Signs you need bath repair in Sandygate
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on

Landlord and trade work in Sandygate
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sheffield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
