Bath repair in Heslington, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can normally use the bath the day after. If you’re dealing with damage beneath the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Heslington as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Your questions about bath repair in Heslington
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does bath repair cost in Heslington?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What we’re called out for in Heslington
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items

What affects the price in Heslington
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
