Advice
Bath repair in Eastmoor without replacing anything
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are holes from dropped items and rust by the waste and overflow.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Eastmoor
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Eastmoor.
Do you cover Eastmoor?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Eastmoor and the rest of Wakefield. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
What we’re called out for in Eastmoor
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
