What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath repair in Skipwith
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
When to call us in Skipwith
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Typically it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. 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.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
