What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Bath repair in Tinshill, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, we can usually put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tinshill and across Leeds.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Tinshill: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Tinshill
- Pressed steel enamel

- Acrylic
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
