Signs you need bath repair in Hopgrove
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Holes from dropped items
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Common questions in Hopgrove
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across York.
Do you come to Hopgrove?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hopgrove. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Hopgrove included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
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.
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Hopgrove
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hopgrove. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
