About our bath repair in Badsworth
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s rust by the waste and overflow and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add 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.

Do you need bath repair in Badsworth?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
Your questions about bath repair in Badsworth
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Badsworth?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Badsworth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Badsworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
