DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath repair in Shepley without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kirklees.

Common questions in Shepley
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Shepley and the rest of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Do you need bath repair in Shepley?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic

What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Shepley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shepley. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
