About our bath repair in Sherburn Hill
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sherburn Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Repair or replace in Sherburn Hill?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need bath repair in Sherburn Hill
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
