About our bath repair in Laisterdyke

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Common problems we fix in Laisterdyke

Damage during fitting is very common. 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:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • A cracked acrylic bath

  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Laisterdyke

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the day after, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Laisterdyke

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BD3 postcode.

Do you come to Laisterdyke?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Laisterdyke. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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 you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

When can I have a bath again?

Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Laisterdyke, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
