Bath repair in Utterby without replacing anything

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix rust by the waste and overflow and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What we are called out for in Utterby

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Utterby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Utterby

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
