Bath repair in Slipton, 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 regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Slipton. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
FAQs for Slipton
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What else we do in Slipton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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’s what we repair.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Landlord and trade work in Slipton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Slipton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What we’re called out for in Slipton

- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What your quote should include
