Bath chip & crack repair in Netherley, Kirklees
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Netherley, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How we handle bath repair in Netherley
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix scratches you can feel with a fingernail and cracks in an acrylic bath, across whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Netherley as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Repairing versus replacing in Netherley
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
