- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Bath repair at your home in Kirklees
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury.

Common questions in Kirklees
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the whole of Bury?
The whole UK, including all of Bury. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are there extra charges for Kirklees?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirklees
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
