Bath repair at your home in Slaid Hill

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 finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Pressed steel enamel

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

When to call us in Slaid Hill

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Chips under the taps

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Landlord and trade work in Slaid Hill

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Questions from Slaid Hill

Do you work in Slaid Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Slaid Hill and the rest of Leeds. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
