Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How we handle bath repair in Ingmanthorpe

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage beneath the taps and chips caused by builders.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ingmanthorpe and across Leeds.

Ingmanthorpe: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

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 what we repair.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
