Bath repair at your home in LS15
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 repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We are often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in LS15
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Landlords, agents and businesses in LS15
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
