Bath repair at your home in Skeeby
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Skeeby questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
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.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Skeeby?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Skeeby. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Skeeby
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 enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Chips under the taps
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
