About our bath repair in Bishop Thornton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and damage beneath the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Bishop Thornton
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HG3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it does not: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When to call us in Bishop Thornton
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A kit repair that didn’t last
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
