How we handle bath repair in Airedale
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Signs you need bath repair in Airedale
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairing versus replacing in Airedale
Replacing a fitted bath typically means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Airedale

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What affects the price in Airedale
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
