The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Menston

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Repair or replace in Menston?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Menston

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Menston. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Menston

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Questions from Menston

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you come to Menston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Menston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

How much does bath repair cost in Menston?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
