Bath repair in Ferrensby, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can usually use the bath the next day. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a cracked acrylic bath, across acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Ferrensby
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we’re called out for in Ferrensby
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

- Damage beneath the taps
