About our bath repair in Askham
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about a chipped rim or side and rust spots around the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Askham and across Nottinghamshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Askham
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Askham: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Askham. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Askham?
We do. We send a technician to Askham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Askham
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
