Trusted bath repair in Fulford

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Bath repair in Fulford 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. We’re frequently asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

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’s what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Fulford

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fulford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Do you need bath repair in Fulford?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

10 questions to ask before you book

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Store metal items away from the bath

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.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
