Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Bath repair in Old Snydale, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We’re frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and chips under the taps, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Old Snydale
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Old Snydale questions
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Old Snydale is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are there extra charges for Old Snydale?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wakefield.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WF7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Cast iron enamel
