Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
About our bath repair in Lofthouse
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. We’re frequently asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about bath repair in Lofthouse
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally 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. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
