When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

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

How we handle bath repair in Soil Hill

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

Landlord and trade work in Soil Hill

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Soil Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Soil Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Soil Hill

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

Signs you need bath repair in Soil Hill

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath repair in Soil Hill

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Soil Hill?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will the repair show?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a bath repair permanent?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
