How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Falsgrave. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Falsgrave. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Falsgrave and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath repair in Falsgrave, done in place

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are impact holes in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Falsgrave

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does bath repair cost in Falsgrave?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in Falsgrave

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Damage beneath the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
