What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we’re called out for in Aldbrough St John
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Common questions in Aldbrough St John
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Aldbrough St John?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aldbrough St John and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
