Bath repair in Pickering, done in place
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s a hole punched through by something heavy and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath repair in Pickering?
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Pickering?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Pickering
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How much does bath repair cost in Pickering?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pickering. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows 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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
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.
