Bath chip & crack repair in Killerby, North Yorkshire
Bath repair in and around Killerby: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Bath repair at your home in Killerby
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Killerby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Killerby
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips caused by builders

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Killerby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
