About our bath repair in Robin Hood's Bay
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We are often asked to fix a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and rust by the waste and overflow, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Robin Hood's Bay
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
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.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Questions from Robin Hood's Bay
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
