Bath repair in High Ackworth without replacing anything
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or sides and damage beneath the taps.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in High Ackworth
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in High Ackworth
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including High Ackworth and the rest of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you come to High Ackworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to High Ackworth and the rest of Wakefield. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What else we do in High Ackworth
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to High Ackworth. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
