Bath Repair for Eppleworth homes
Our technicians come to Eppleworth for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Eppleworth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Eppleworth questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Are there extra charges for Eppleworth?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Riding of Yorkshire.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Eppleworth?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Eppleworth, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
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 it pays to deal with it early.
Common problems we fix in Eppleworth
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
