Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How we handle bath repair in Rothwell
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Should you replace it?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rothwell. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Rothwell: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Do you cover Rothwell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Rothwell. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
