About our bath repair in Appleton-le-Moors
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Appleton-le-Moors
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO62 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Appleton-le-Moors
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you come to Appleton-le-Moors?
We do. We send a technician to Appleton-le-Moors for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Other services in Appleton-le-Moors
Repairs by material
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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
