Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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

Bath repair at your home in Shipley
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools and scratches and burns.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or 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.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
When to call us in Shipley
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Scratches and burns
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
What your quote should include

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit.

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
