Bath repair at your home in Scissett
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We’re frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Scissett
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 nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scissett. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

FAQs for Scissett
Do you cover Scissett?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Scissett from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What we cannot put right

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Scissett
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Scissett
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
