About our bath repair in Kirklington
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about bath repair in Kirklington
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover Kirklington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kirklington and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic

What else we do in Kirklington
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirklington
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kirklington, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
