Questions from Newton-on-Ouse
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the entire of York?
We work UK-wide, so Newton-on-Ouse is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Newton-on-Ouse get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Newton-on-Ouse
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What your bath is made of matters
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, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton-on-Ouse use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
