Bath repair in Tinker Hey, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about bath repair in Tinker Hey
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Calderdale.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does bath repair cost in Tinker Hey?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Signs you need bath repair in Tinker Hey
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled

Why repair rather than replace?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
