Common problems we fix in Bedale
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Impact holes in acrylic

Bath repair in Bedale without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bedale and across North Yorkshire.

Bedale questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Bedale?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairing versus replacing in Bedale
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Bedale
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
