Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Bath repair in Helmshore without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Helmshore. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your pictures
Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
When to call us in Helmshore
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
