DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath repair in Walmersley without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Walmersley
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Most customers in Walmersley 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.

What else we do in Walmersley
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel

When to call us in Walmersley
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
Common reasons people in Walmersley contact us are:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
