Bath repair in Bradford, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bradford and the surrounding area.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bradford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Bradford
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Common problems we fix in Bradford
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Bradford contact us are:
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
