Our bath repair service in DE73
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a chip where the taps sit, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE73 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we’re called out for in DE73
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for DE73
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in DE73.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
