How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add 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.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Featherstone, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Featherstone
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair in Featherstone
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Featherstone questions
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you cover Featherstone?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Featherstone and the rest of Wakefield. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Do not 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.
