We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Wheldrake. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
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. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What else we do in Wheldrake
When to call us in Wheldrake
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Wheldrake questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Wheldrake?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO19 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wheldrake as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
