Bath Repair in York

Bath repair at your home in York

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

Landlords, agents and businesses in York

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in York as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Repairing versus replacing

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

York questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
