Repairing versus replacing in Kirkhamgate

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kirkhamgate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Questions from Kirkhamgate
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work in Kirkhamgate?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kirkhamgate. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Wakefield.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath repair in Kirkhamgate
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Most customers in Kirkhamgate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
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.
