Bath repair in Earswick, done in place
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, usually in a single visit. If you’re dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can typically put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we are called out for in Earswick
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for these signs:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides

Other services in Earswick
Landlord and trade work in Earswick
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What affects the price in Earswick
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling

Common questions in Earswick
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
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.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What areas do you cover?
All of York, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
