How bath repair works in WF17
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are impact holes in acrylic and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
What it costs in WF17

Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the damage happens
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
FAQs for WF17
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kirklees.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for WF17?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
