Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Do you need bath repair in Embsay?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides

Embsay questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Embsay included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. 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.
Why Embsay customers choose us
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Embsay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BD23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
