Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What else we do in Bugthorpe
Questions from Bugthorpe
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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 we need access under the bath.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Signs you need bath repair in Bugthorpe
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend 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.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Bugthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Bugthorpe
If you manage property in Bugthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
