Bath repair in Cawood, done in place
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Common problems we fix in Cawood
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Cawood questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you work in Cawood?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cawood and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. 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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
