Bath repair at your home in Bradford
Most baths can be used again the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Bradford
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Bradford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bradford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you protect the room?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up when we finish.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How much does bath repair cost in Bradford?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BD4 postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, and we’ll agree a time with you.
Signs you need bath repair in Bradford
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, often around the taps or the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches and burns
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
