About our bath repair in West Scholes
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in West Scholes
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in West Scholes.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bradford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in West Scholes
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Common problems we fix in West Scholes
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to look after the finish
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
