Bath repair in Ainsworth without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t 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. Whether it’s chips under the taps and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about bath repair in Ainsworth
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Ainsworth?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ainsworth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
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.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What affects the price in Ainsworth
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
For a price in Ainsworth, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
