Why repair rather than replace?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK

  • No need to remove anything

FAQs for Norton-on-Derwent

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is a bath repair permanent?

A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norton-on-Derwent use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Signs you need bath repair in Norton-on-Derwent

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Chips under the taps
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
