FAQs for Osbaldwick
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across York.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the entire of York?
All of York, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Osbaldwick and the rest of York. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?

Bath repair in Osbaldwick, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Osbaldwick
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Usually one visit, start to finish
See our pricing and bath cost comparison.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
