Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gristhorpe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Gristhorpe: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Most customers in Gristhorpe get their price from photos. 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?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Do you need bath repair in Gristhorpe?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
