About our bath repair in Wharfe
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, across cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Wharfe
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 will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A kit repair that didn’t last

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Common questions in Wharfe
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Wharfe and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Wharfe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What else we do in Wharfe
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
