Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How we handle bath repair in Leathley
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. We are frequently asked to fix an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and snagging damage from a refit, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Leathley
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LS21 postcode.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you work in Leathley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Leathley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
