How we handle bath repair in Ainthorpe
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ainthorpe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

What else we do in Ainthorpe
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Advice
When to call us in Ainthorpe
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
