Bath repair at your home in WF8

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

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.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Prices in WF8

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

Store metal items away from the bath
Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Do not scrub with anything abrasive

There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
A steel bath rusted through
Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

Doing more than one item at once
The material and finish
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

Where you are, by postcode
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Details of any past repairs
A wider photo showing the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in WF8

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
