What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- 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, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Sapiston
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Sapiston?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
Comparing quotes

- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sapiston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Sapiston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What affects the price in Sapiston
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about bath repair in Sapiston
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
