Bath repair in Shiptonthorpe, done in place
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage from a refit and cracks in an acrylic bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath repair in Shiptonthorpe
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Shiptonthorpe
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
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.
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.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shiptonthorpe
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shiptonthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Shiptonthorpe?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start 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.

- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
