What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When to call us in Grimston
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Common reasons people in Grimston contact us are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repairing versus replacing in Grimston
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Grimston
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Grimston and the rest of York. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
