Signs you need bath repair in Kirk Smeaton
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

- Roll-top & freestanding

- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirk Smeaton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
