Bath repair at your home in Carthorpe
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Carthorpe
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
