Our bath repair service in LS3

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

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 a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

What it costs in LS3

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for LS3. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in LS3

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • A chip where the taps sit

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Your questions about bath repair in LS3

Are there extra charges for LS3?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
