About bath repair in East Riding of Yorkshire

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Near you in Beverley

Typical jobs here are in homes near Beverley Masonic Hall, Beverley High School and Beverley St Nicholas Community Primary School. Nearby too are The Queens Head pub (within half a mile south-east) and Beverley Minster (within half a mile south-east). There is a railway station in Beverley itself: Beverley station. A little further out are East Riding Community Hospital (0.9 miles north-east) and Baynard Castle (4.1 miles south).

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Common problems we fix in East Riding of Yorkshire

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Chips under the taps
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit.

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

Common questions in East Riding of Yorkshire

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
