Bath repair at your home in Vellow
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Vellow
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Are there extra charges for Vellow?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What affects the price in Vellow
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Vellow. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Vellow get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Do you need bath repair in Vellow?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Common reasons people in Vellow contact us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
