Bath repair across WF6: what to expect
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- 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.

Around Normanton
We visit homes around The Black Swan pub, All Saints Church and St Wilfrid's Catholic High School & Sixth Form College and the streets around them. Normanton has its own railway station: Normanton station. Other landmarks nearby include Castleford (2.2 miles north-east) and Clarke Hall Educational Museum (2.9 miles west). The countryside around Normanton includes St Aidan's and Lemonroyd Lake.
Signs you need bath repair
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
