About our bath repair in Reeth

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and rust by the waste and overflow, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Reeth, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Reeth

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you come to Reeth?

We do. We send a technician to Reeth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

Across the UK, so Reeth is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
  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. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need bath repair in Reeth?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused by builders
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Damage beneath the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. 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. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Should you replace it?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
