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 repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Bath repair in Welby without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and impact holes in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we’re called out for in Welby
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
For a price in Welby, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Welby
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
