About our bath repair in Lower Dunsforth
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Your questions about bath repair in Lower Dunsforth
Do you cover the whole of York?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Dunsforth included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
When to call us in Lower Dunsforth
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Look out for any of the following:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
