About our bath repair in Gleadless Townend

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Gleadless Townend questions

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

How long before I can use the bath?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
