For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kirklees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Bath repair in Causeway Foot without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last, in whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need bath repair in Causeway Foot
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

Causeway Foot: your questions answered
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you come to Causeway Foot?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Causeway Foot for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
