Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
About our bath repair in Sorbie
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are chips under the taps and a chipped rim or side.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Sorbie
Do you work in Sorbie?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sorbie for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sorbie as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Signs you need bath repair in Sorbie
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.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

- One price list for the entire UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
