Book bath repair in Roundhay

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath repair at your home in Roundhay

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 repaired in place, generally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and a cracked acrylic bath, we can generally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath repair in Roundhay

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can I have a bath again?

Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

What areas do you cover?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a fitted bath usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Roundhay, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
