Landlord and trade work in Dewsbury
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Bath repair in Dewsbury without replacing anything
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and chips on the rim or sides.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace in Dewsbury?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dewsbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Fixed prices from your photos

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Dewsbury

Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
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.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
