Bath repair in Scotton, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Scotton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Scotton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DN21 postcode.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
When to call us in Scotton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Repair or replace in Scotton?
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. 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 pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Scotton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
