Bath repair in York

Bath repair at your home in York

You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about rust spots where the enamel has gone and cracks and holes in acrylic baths.

Nearly all the chips we see starts with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, crack when they flex, usually near the taps or the waste.

When we visit, 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 few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
