Bath repair in Moorhouse without replacing anything
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and rust spots around the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Moorhouse. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moorhouse as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Moorhouse
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. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Usually one visit, start to finish

What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Moorhouse
How do I get a price for bath repair in Moorhouse?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
