Bath repair in Tunstall, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most often call us about a cracked acrylic bath and a kit repair that didn’t last.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Tunstall and the surrounding area
Tunstall is about 13 miles east of Kingston upon Hull, in East Riding of Yorkshire. Jobs in Tunstall are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Tunstall is one of 299 towns and villages in East Riding of Yorkshire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Tunstall to Leeds (63 miles away).
Jobs in HU12 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From Main Street, Seaside Lane and Kilnhouse Lane or anywhere nearby, we can come to you. If you’re just outside Tunstall, we cover Roos (1 mile south-west), Rimswell (2 miles south), Hilston (2 miles north-west), Owstwick (2 miles west) and Grimston (3 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Hornsea (12 miles north-west), Hedon (8 miles west), Withernsea (3 miles south-east), Preston (8 miles west), Keyingham (6 miles south-west) and Bilton (9 miles west).
Local landmarks in Tunstall
We visit homes around Church of All Saints, among other places. Further afield, we also cover the area around Withernsea Hospital (3.3 miles south-east) and Withernsea Lighthouse Museum (3.1 miles south-east).
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tunstall
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tunstall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Tunstall questions
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Tunstall included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Tunstall?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tunstall and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we’re called out for in Tunstall
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
