About our bath repair in Maunby
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. We work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath repair in Maunby
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
