When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

How we handle bath repair in Slingsby
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Your questions about bath repair in Slingsby
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Signs you need bath repair in Slingsby
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- If travel is included in the price
Landlords, agents and businesses in Slingsby
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Slingsby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
