Bath repair at your home in Moor End

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moor End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from Moor End

How long before I can use the bath?

Normally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Moor End. Prices do not change with location.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Moor End. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Moor End and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Moor End

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
