How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath repair in Sneaton?
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Common questions in Sneaton
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
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.
