Bath repair at your home in Rudby
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rudby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Rudby, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Rudby
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions from Rudby
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What affects the price in Rudby
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rudby, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
