Bath repair in Havercroft, done in place
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Havercroft and across Wakefield.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Repairing versus replacing in Havercroft
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. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Havercroft as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wakefield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Common questions in Havercroft
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Signs you need bath repair in Havercroft
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Havercroft. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
