DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
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 what we repair.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add 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.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Alwoodley questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you cover the entire of Leeds?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Alwoodley. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Alwoodley?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When to call us in Alwoodley
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
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.
Repair or replace in Alwoodley?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alwoodley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
