- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Skelton Green
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Skelton Green. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Skelton Green
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Do you need bath repair in Skelton Green?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote

Your questions about bath repair in Skelton Green
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
