Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Bath repair in Methley, done in place

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Methley questions

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Methley

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Chips caused by builders

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
