Bath repair at your home in Garforth

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When to call us in Garforth

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

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 can start.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Garforth. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

Should you replace it?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
