Bath repair across LS17: 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and chips under the taps.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.

What you’ll pay

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How the damage happens

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

Questions from LS17

Do you come to LS17?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to LS17 from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Is there a call-out fee?

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