Bath repair at your home in S12

A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Common call-outs are for an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

What affects the price in S12

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

Doing more than one item at once
Unusual colours or finishes
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in S12, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Metal that has corroded all the way through
A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Signs you need bath repair

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Common reasons people in S12 contact us are:

Damage beneath the taps
Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
A hole punched through by something heavy

Common questions in S12

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to S12?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to S12 and the rest of Sheffield. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
