Bath repair at your home in Upperthorpe
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips caused by builders, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upperthorpe as everywhere else we work.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upperthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Upperthorpe questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sheffield.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Are there extra charges for Upperthorpe?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 normally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Upperthorpe
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
