Bath repair at your home in Skelmanthorpe
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Skelmanthorpe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: 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 quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Skelmanthorpe
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Skelmanthorpe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Skelmanthorpe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Skelmanthorpe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
