Bath repair at your home in Selside
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Selside. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Selside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Selside use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
