About bath repair in LS1

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in LS1

Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in LS1

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

LS1: your questions answered

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
