Bath chip & crack repair in Outwood, Wakefield
Bath repair across Outwood and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
About our bath repair in Outwood
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a chipped rim or side and rusty patches near the plughole, across pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
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.

Signs you need bath repair in Outwood
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Outwood: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Outwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Outwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Outwood
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Outwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Outwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Outwood customers choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site

What affects the price in Outwood
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
