Bath repair at your home in Scalby
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Scalby?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scalby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Scalby
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Common problems we fix in Scalby
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
