Bath repair in Southcoates, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hull.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Southcoates
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Southcoates
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Signs you need bath repair in Southcoates
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Southcoates contact us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
