About our bath repair in Saxby
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we’re called out for in Saxby
Rust typically starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace in Saxby?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Saxby
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saxby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Saxby
- Roll-top & freestanding

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Saxby: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
