How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Landlord and trade work in Lockwood
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Lockwood and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Lockwood: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Lockwood and the rest of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you come to Lockwood?
We do. We send a technician to Lockwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
