About our bath repair in Slattocks
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Slattocks
For anyone letting property in or around Slattocks, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Slattocks. The price depends on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
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 price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Slattocks
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What else we do in Slattocks
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
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 early repair keeps the cost down.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
