About our bath repair in Wortley
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Wortley: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the 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.
Landlord and trade work in Wortley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wortley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Wortley
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
