About our bath repair in Staupes
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include rusty patches near the plughole and chips caused by builders, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Staupes: your questions answered
How much does bath repair cost in Staupes?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HG3 postcode.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What we are called out for in Staupes
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit

What affects the price in Staupes
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Staupes, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
