Common problems we fix in Bishop Wilton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Bath repair in Bishop Wilton 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. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price

Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Questions from Bishop Wilton
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Bishop Wilton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bishop Wilton and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bishop Wilton.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What else we do in Bishop Wilton
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
