About our bath repair in Cross Gates

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and chips under the taps, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cross Gates. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about bath repair in Cross Gates

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Cross Gates?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LS15 postcode.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Leeds. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Do you work in Cross Gates?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cross Gates and the rest of Leeds. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

When to call us in Cross Gates

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Repair or replace in Cross Gates?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
