10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Little Habton

When can I have a bath again?

Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will the repair last?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Which areas do you work in?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover Little Habton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Little Habton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Little Habton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
