DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
About our bath repair in Aughton
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Aughton and across Rotherham.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Aughton: your questions answered
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you cover Aughton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Aughton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need bath repair in Aughton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
