How bath repair works in LS10

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips along the edge of the bath and rust by the waste and overflow.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  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 following day.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Composite and resin

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in LS10 get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Questions from LS10

Are there extra charges for LS10?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will I be able to see the repair?

We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
