Bath chip & crack repair in Sutton Ings, Hull
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in Sutton Ings, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair at your home in Sutton Ings
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. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

FAQs for Sutton Ings
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
All of Hull, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Sutton Ings?
We do. We send a technician to Sutton Ings for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Common problems we fix in Sutton Ings
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Before booking anyone
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

- How soon you can use it again
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
