Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Bath repair in Myerscough Smithy without replacing anything
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you are dealing with chips under the taps and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Myerscough Smithy
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Signs you need bath repair in Myerscough Smithy
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare

- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
