Bath repair in Kirk Hammerton, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and rusty patches near the plughole.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Store metal items away from the bath
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Kirk Hammerton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Kirk Hammerton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A cracked acrylic bath
