Bath repair at your home in DY4
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, in roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Cost
Prices start from £95. 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.

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common problems we fix in DY4
Rust normally 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
What affects the price in DY4
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in DY4, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DY4 questions
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.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
