Bath repair at your home in WF4

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.

We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Prices in WF4

Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The material
Where the damage is and how we get to it
What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A clear, close picture of the problem area
A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Have new chips seen to early
Rinse it down after each bath

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in WF4, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in WF4 use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need bath repair

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Common reasons people in WF4 contact us are:

A hole punched through by something heavy
Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Snagging damage from a refit
A chipped rim or side

Your questions about bath repair in WF4

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WF4 postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?

Across the UK, so WF4 is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
