The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole

About our bath repair in Fridaythorpe
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most often call us about chips caused by builders and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Fridaythorpe
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO25 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not 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.
Common questions in Fridaythorpe
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Repairing versus replacing in Fridaythorpe
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fridaythorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Fridaythorpe
If you manage property in Fridaythorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
