Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

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.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, 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.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

When to call us in Mosborough

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • A cracked acrylic bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sheffield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Mosborough clients choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Your questions about bath repair in Mosborough

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Mosborough. Prices don’t change with location.

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
