Bath repair at your home in Saxelbye
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Saxelbye and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

What else we do in Saxelbye
Saxelbye questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Saxelbye is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When to call us in Saxelbye
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Saxelbye, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We don’t 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
