How bath repair works in DH8
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chip where the taps sit and impact holes in acrylic.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 next day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for DH8. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in DH8
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 is the part we put right.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Repair or replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it.

DH8 questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover DH8?
We do. Technicians travel to DH8 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
