When to call us in Dunsley
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Bath repair in Dunsley, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and chips caused by builders, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
We do not 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.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Your questions about bath repair in Dunsley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Dunsley and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
