Bath repair at your home in Calder Grove
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We’re often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and a hole punched through by something heavy, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield.

Common questions in Calder Grove
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Calder Grove?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Calder Grove. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Calder Grove, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Calder Grove
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Calder Grove
A cracked acrylic bath normally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
