How we handle bath repair in Skelton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for rusty patches near the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, across cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, 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, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Skelton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What else we do in Skelton
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 you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- One price list for the entire UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
