About our bath repair in Scawthorpe
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and deep scratches in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scawthorpe and across Doncaster.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scawthorpe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Scawthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scawthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Scawthorpe, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Scawthorpe
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Scawthorpe?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
