Bath repair at your home in DE11
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can normally use the bath the following day. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and chips under the taps.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 next day.
Pricing in DE11
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in DE11 as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Repairing versus replacing
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Common problems we fix in DE11
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Common questions in DE11
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there’s access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
