Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common problems we fix in Emley
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Questions from Emley
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Emley?
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 whole item with your HD8 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Emley
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kirklees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
