Before and after: a damaged acrylic bath corner repaired in place

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What we are called out for in Whitkirk

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Look out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Whitkirk clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

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

Your questions about bath repair in Whitkirk

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you cover the whole of Leeds?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

Landlord and trade work in Whitkirk

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Whitkirk, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What affects the price in Whitkirk

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price
