The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Gilling West questions
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Do you cover Gilling West?
We do. We send a technician to Gilling West for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What we are called out for in Gilling West
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again

- What prep work is covered
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
