About bath repair in LS4
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can typically bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are deep scratches in acrylic and chips caused by builders.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- 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, typically the day after.
Prices in LS4
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for LS4. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Questions from LS4
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover the entire of Leeds?
Across the UK, so LS4 is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Do you come to LS4?
We do. Technicians travel to LS4 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
