Bath chip & crack repair in High Catton, East Riding of Yorkshire
We travel to High Catton for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we handle bath repair in High Catton
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Questions from High Catton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Should you replace it?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
