How we handle bath repair in Kincorth
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. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

What we’re called out for in Kincorth
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips caused by builders
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Common questions in Kincorth
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Kincorth.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
