What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Bath repair at your home in Staveley
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and holes from dropped items, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Do you need bath repair in Staveley?
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until it cracks.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Staveley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about bath repair in Staveley
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Staveley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace in Staveley?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
