DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not 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
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Your questions about bath repair in Fulford
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Fulford?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Common problems we fix in Fulford
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes two to three hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For a price in Fulford, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
