Bath repair at your home in LS26

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and chips under the taps.

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Pricing in LS26

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.

Details of any past repairs

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, 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, in much the same way.

What we’re called out for in LS26

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Common reasons people in LS26 contact us are:

A cracked acrylic bath
A chip where the taps sit
Snagging damage from a refit
Rusty patches near the plughole

Questions from LS26

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
