About our bath repair in West Lilling
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in West Lilling
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Questions from West Lilling
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Yorkshire.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for bath repair in West Lilling?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
