Bath repair across SK4: what to expect
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a chip where the taps sit and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Cost
Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in SK4
If you manage property in SK4, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for SK4. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A steel bath rusted through
Signs you need bath repair
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A hole punched through by something heavy
SK4 questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
