DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ulrome. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Ulrome get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Ulrome questions

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Ulrome and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Common problems we fix in Ulrome

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Holes from dropped items
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
