What affects the price in South Ossett
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Do you need bath repair in South Ossett?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
