Landlords, agents and businesses in Farnley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leeds and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Bath repair in Farnley without replacing anything

We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and impact holes in acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Farnley questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work in Farnley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Farnley and the rest of Leeds. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long before I can use the bath?

Typically the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Common problems we fix in Farnley

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Repairing versus replacing in Farnley

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
