Bath repair in Nunthorpe without replacing anything

Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Whether it’s chips under the taps and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Landlord and trade work in Nunthorpe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Nunthorpe

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Nunthorpe. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole

  • Who will actually do the work

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

The process

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 typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
