Bath repair across HD5: what to expect
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We’re often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and damage beneath the taps, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Around Almondbury
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Almondbury Community School, Parish Church of All Hallows and All Hallows' CofE (VA) Primary School. The nearest railway station is Huddersfield station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Kingsgate Shopping Centre (1.5 miles north-west) and Rugby League Heritage Centre (1.7 miles north-west). For a walk, there is Castle Hill.
Repairing versus replacing
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 generally cheaper.
What we are called out for in HD5
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A chipped rim or side
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Questions from HD5
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes HD5. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
