Bath repair in Skirbeck, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- 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. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
FAQs for Skirbeck
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Are there extra charges for Skirbeck?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Skirbeck, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Skirbeck
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Skirbeck. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Common problems we fix in Skirbeck
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
