Bath repair in Whitby without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. We’re often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and damage beneath the taps, in cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Whitby questions
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Whitby. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need bath repair in Whitby?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
