Bath Repair for Austhorpe homes
Bath repair for Austhorpe, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we handle bath repair in Austhorpe
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Whether it’s rust spots around the plughole and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Austhorpe
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Austhorpe?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we 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.
