Trusted bath repair in Yapham

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Bath repair at your home in Yapham

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and a kit repair that didn’t last, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yapham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Yapham

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until it cracks.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Repair or replace: which is better?

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Common questions in Yapham

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Yapham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Yapham

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
