Landlord and trade work in Thornhill Lees
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kirklees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Thornhill Lees: your questions answered
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?
We cover the whole UK, including Thornhill Lees and the rest of Kirklees. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why Thornhill Lees clients choose us
- Work done at your home or business

- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
