How we handle bath repair in South Ferriby
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not 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 clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
If you’re in South Ferriby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around South Ferriby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
South Ferriby questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
