Need bath repair in Kelfield?

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we handle bath repair in Kelfield

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can usually bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kelfield and across York.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Kelfield customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Your questions about bath repair in Kelfield

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Generally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Signs you need bath repair in Kelfield

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
