Repair or replace in Keighley?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we handle bath repair in Keighley
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Signs you need bath repair in Keighley
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole

What affects the price in Keighley
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Keighley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about bath repair in Keighley
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you cover the entire of Bradford?
All of Bradford, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bradford.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
