Bath repair in Lofthouse Gate, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry

FAQs for Lofthouse Gate
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What affects the price in Lofthouse Gate
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

- Pressed steel enamel

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Lofthouse Gate
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?

- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
