Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
How we handle bath repair in Ardsley
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rust spots around the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Ardsley
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

FAQs for Ardsley
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?
The whole UK, including all of Barnsley. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
