Bath Repair for Roecliffe homes
Problem with your bath in Roecliffe? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath repair in Roecliffe without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Roecliffe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

Whether you are in the middle of Roecliffe or on the outskirts, the service is the same: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Roecliffe is one of 626 towns and villages in North Yorkshire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Roecliffe to Leeds (20 miles away).
Every address in YO51 is within our area. Jobs here include addresses on Bar Lane, Brickyard Road and Clay Pit Lane and the roads around them.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
What we’re called out for in Roecliffe
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Roecliffe questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
