What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Elland Lower Edge. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.

- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

Elland Lower Edge: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you come to Elland Lower Edge?
We do. Technicians travel to Elland Lower Edge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
