Bath repair at your home in Killingbeck
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We’re often asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and a cracked acrylic bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse it down after each bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Killingbeck: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Killingbeck.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the entire of Leeds?
Everywhere in the UK, Killingbeck included. There is no extra charge for travel.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
Signs you need bath repair in Killingbeck
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
