Bath repair near Wrenthorpe

Repairs by material

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, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Bath repair in Wrenthorpe, done in place

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Wrenthorpe: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to Wrenthorpe?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wrenthorpe and the rest of Wakefield. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wrenthorpe?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WF2 postcode.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For a price in Wrenthorpe, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
