Bath repair at your home in Headingley
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Headingley customers choose us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Headingley. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Your questions about bath repair in Headingley
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Headingley.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For a price in Headingley, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
