Bath repair in Moortown, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for snagging damage from a refit and a hole punched through by something heavy, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are 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.

What affects the price in Moortown

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Moortown. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath repair in Moortown

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you cover Moortown?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Moortown. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Moortown

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
