How we handle bath repair in Oxton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Oxton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Oxton
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Oxton?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath repair in Oxton
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Oxton and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- 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.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Oxton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
