Bath repair in Skelton without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Skelton
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

FAQs for Skelton
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath repair in Skelton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chipped rim or side
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in Skelton
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Skelton. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Skelton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
