- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How we handle bath repair in West Scrafton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with a hole punched through by something heavy and snagging damage from a refit, we can help.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Common questions in West Scrafton
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in West Scrafton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Scrafton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Landlord and trade work in West Scrafton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in West Scrafton
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
