Bath repair at your home in Skinningrove
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and a chipped rim or side, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Nearby places to Skinningrove
Also in Skinningrove
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Skinningrove
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Signs you need bath repair in Skinningrove
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
