About bath repair in LS29

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

We protect the bath and the floor around it.
The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for LS29. What changes the price is:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How much damage there is
Whether we combine several jobs
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

Natural light rather than flash
Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
One sharp close-up of the damage
A picture taken from further back

For a price in LS29, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in LS29

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Look out for these signs:

Rust by the waste and overflow
An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Chips caused by builders
Chips on the rim or sides

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in LS29 as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
