Bath Repair in Kirkby Woodhouse
Damaged bath in Kirkby Woodhouse? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair in Kirkby Woodhouse, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Kirkby Woodhouse
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kirkby Woodhouse. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need bath repair in Kirkby Woodhouse
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips caused by builders

Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. We don’t 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.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
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.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
