How we handle bath repair in Glass Houghton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Glass Houghton and across Wakefield.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- 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
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Glass Houghton questions
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Glass Houghton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Why repair rather than replace?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Glass Houghton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
