Bath repair in Taylor Hill without replacing anything

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 aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Taylor Hill

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Taylor Hill

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
