About our bath repair in Kirby Hill
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kirby Hill. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Kirby Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kirby Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
What we are called out for in Kirby Hill
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Questions from Kirby Hill
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you come to Kirby Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kirby Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
