Related advice
Bath repair in Lower Wyke without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bradford.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
What we’re called out for in Lower Wyke
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Lower Wyke clients choose us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
