Bath repair at your home in Gate Head
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Can you repair several things at once?

What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gate Head. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Calderdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What else we do in Gate Head
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HX4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
