How we handle bath repair in Whitby
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the next day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Common call-outs are for chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Whitby, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. 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.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Holes from dropped items
- Snagging damage from a refit
