Do you need bath repair in Unthank?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
Before booking anyone

Can rust on a bath be repaired?
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.

Usually the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you cover Unthank?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Repairing versus replacing in Unthank
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
