Common questions in Tyersal

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tyersal included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bradford.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Bath repair at your home in Tyersal

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused by builders and chips along the edge of the bath, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tyersal

If you manage property in Tyersal, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tyersal. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
