Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Bath repair at your home in Askern
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Askern
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Askern use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
