Bath repair in Simmondley, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, typically in a single visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Do you need bath repair in Simmondley?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Common reasons people in Simmondley contact us include:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Simmondley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Simmondley questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Simmondley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Most clients in Simmondley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
