Bath Repair for Tockwith homes
Damaged bath in Tockwith? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from dropped items
- A chipped rim or side
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle bath repair in Tockwith
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tockwith. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common questions in Tockwith
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Tockwith and the rest of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Tockwith?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO26 postcode.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What else we do in Tockwith
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Tockwith
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Impact holes in acrylic

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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 day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
