DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Signs you need bath repair in Tetley
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Tetley
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tetley. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Tetley
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Common questions in Tetley
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
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.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
