How we handle bath repair in Upper Denby
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Upper Denby: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WF4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath repair in Upper Denby
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
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.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
