Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Bath repair in Great Asby, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Great Asby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Asby
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Asby
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Asby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Your questions about bath repair in Great Asby
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Great Asby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Great Asby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
When to call us in Great Asby
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
