Bath repair in Skelton on Ure without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skelton on Ure and across North Yorkshire.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

When to call us in Skelton on Ure
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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, typically the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Skelton on Ure
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your HG4 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
