How we handle bath repair in Bishopthorpe
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bishopthorpe and across York.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace in Bishopthorpe?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Bishopthorpe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Bishopthorpe
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit

Questions from Bishopthorpe
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of York?
Across the UK, and that includes Bishopthorpe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy 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. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
