Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Store metal items away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What else we do in Skellow
When to call us in Skellow
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on

Landlord and trade work in Skellow
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skellow as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Skellow. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Skellow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Skellow
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
