Bath repair in Cowthorpe, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and rust spots around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cowthorpe and across Leeds.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cowthorpe. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cowthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Cowthorpe
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Cowthorpe?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
