Bath chip & crack repair in Sheffield
Damaged bath in Sheffield? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Bath repair at your home in Sheffield
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlord and trade work in Sheffield
For anyone letting property in or around Sheffield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
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 won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we’re called out for in Sheffield
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
