Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Skipsea Brough: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Skipsea Brough and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your YO25 postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.

Landlord and trade work in Skipsea Brough

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Skipsea Brough

  • Acrylic
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

There is nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Repair or replace in Skipsea Brough?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath repair in Skipsea Brough

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
  • Rust spots around the plughole
