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. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Earswick use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around New Earswick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
