About our bath repair in Foggathorpe
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and rust spots around the plughole, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Foggathorpe?
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps

Foggathorpe: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Foggathorpe. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Foggathorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
