Bath repair at your home in Totties
A damaged bath does not 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. Typical jobs include chips caused by builders and chips on the rim or sides, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Totties. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Totties. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Totties, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Repairing versus replacing in Totties
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Totties
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover the whole of Kirklees?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Landlord and trade work in Totties
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Totties use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
