Bath repair in Middlethorpe, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and holes from dropped items, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
FAQs for Middlethorpe
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How much does bath repair cost in Middlethorpe?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your YO23 postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
