How we handle bath repair in Wombwell
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wombwell as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace in Wombwell?
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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
When to call us in Wombwell
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
