Bath repair in Foston on the Wolds without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Foston on the Wolds
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Foston on the Wolds
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Foston on the Wolds, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
When to call us in Foston on the Wolds
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.

What affects the price in Foston on the Wolds
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We do not 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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
