How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Landlord and trade work in Raw
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Raw use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath repair in Raw?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit

- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Raw
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
