Bath repair at your home in Booth Wood
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Whether it’s hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, we can help.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Signs you need bath repair in Booth Wood
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips on the rim or sides
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if they find more damage
Should you replace it?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What else we do in Booth Wood
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Your questions about bath repair in Booth Wood
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Booth Wood?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
