What else we do in Upper Hoyland
Your questions about bath repair in Upper Hoyland
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Upper Hoyland.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
When to call us in Upper Hoyland
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Hoyland use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Have new chips seen to early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
