About our bath repair in Hunmanby

Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and holes from dropped items, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hunmanby and across North Yorkshire.

Should you replace it?

People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Generally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Hunmanby customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • A steel bath rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hunmanby. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Hunmanby: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Often, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
