Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Arksey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Bath repair in Arksey without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Arksey as everywhere else we work.

- The material

- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode

- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Arksey
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Look out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Arksey: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Arksey.
Do you cover the whole of Doncaster?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Arksey. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
