What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What affects the price in Scalby
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Scalby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Scalby questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Scalby?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
