About our bath repair in Waitby
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Waitby: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What does bath repair cost?

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Do you need bath repair in Waitby?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
