How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fox Royd
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Fox Royd
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure

What affects the price in Fox Royd
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fox Royd. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Fox Royd get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
