Bath repair at your home in Pellon
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pellon and across Calderdale.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pellon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Common questions in Pellon
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
What areas do you cover?
All of Calderdale, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Do you need bath repair in Pellon?
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
