Bath repair in Fishergate without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a chip where the taps sit and a cracked acrylic bath, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Your questions about bath repair in Fishergate
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across York.
Do you come to Fishergate?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Fishergate and the rest of York. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Fishergate
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.

- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Fishergate
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Holes from dropped items
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
