Bath chip & crack repair in Sandhills, Leeds

- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Damage beneath the taps
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath repair in Sandhills
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Sandhills

Common problems we fix in Sandhills
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Sandhills
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Sandhills?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandhills
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sandhills. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
