Bath repair in Gilberdyke without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Gilberdyke: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Gilberdyke
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Repairing versus replacing in Gilberdyke
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs

- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
