How we handle bath repair in Sloothby
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When to call us in Sloothby
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

FAQs for Sloothby
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
What affects the price in Sloothby
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: 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.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
