Bath repair at your home in Boulby
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and damage beneath the taps, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Boulby
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
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.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one typically means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We leave the room as we found it

Common problems we fix in Boulby
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Most clients in Boulby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Have new chips seen to early
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
