We travel to Ugthorpe for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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 the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
About our bath repair in Ugthorpe
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Ugthorpe: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What affects the price in Ugthorpe
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ugthorpe
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Do you need bath repair in Ugthorpe?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Repairing versus replacing in Ugthorpe
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
