About our bath repair in Ainsty
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and cracks in an acrylic bath, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Ainsty
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repair or replace in Ainsty?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

FAQs for Ainsty
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ainsty use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
