How we handle bath repair in Burniston
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Questions from Burniston
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burniston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, 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:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What else we do in Burniston
Do you need bath repair in Burniston?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Common reasons people in Burniston contact us include:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

Repair or replace in Burniston?
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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through

Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Burniston. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
