About bath repair in DL13
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. We work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and rust by the waste and overflow.
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
What you’ll pay
Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
How the damage happens
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repairing versus replacing
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
