The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Etherdwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Repair or replace in Etherdwick?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Your questions about bath repair in Etherdwick

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you need bath repair in Etherdwick?

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Holes from dropped items
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
