Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath repair in Crossgates without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s rusty patches near the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Crossgates and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LD1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
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.
Your questions about bath repair in Crossgates
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How much does bath repair cost in Crossgates?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Crossgates
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
Common problems we fix in Crossgates
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
