About bath repair in LS7

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in LS7

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in LS7 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Treat the repaired area like the rest of 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 it’s worth getting them done early.

How the damage happens

Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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)
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

LS7: your questions answered

Can you redo an old repair?

Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, LS7 included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
