What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair in Sheffield Bottom without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders, we can typically put it right.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
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.

Questions from Sheffield Bottom
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Sheffield Bottom?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sheffield Bottom for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing typically 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
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Sheffield Bottom, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
