Bath repair at your home in Scrooby Top
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Repairing versus replacing in Scrooby Top
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. 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.

What we are called out for in Scrooby Top
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow

Questions from Scrooby Top
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Scrooby Top?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What areas do you cover?
All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
