Landlords, agents and businesses in Escrick
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Escrick as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
