We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Calderdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath repair in Upper Brockholes
We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Brockholes
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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

FAQs for Upper Brockholes
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath

- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
