Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Scagglethorpe
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Scagglethorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Scagglethorpe
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before booking anyone

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Common questions in Scagglethorpe
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
