Bath repair in Yarm without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Yarm
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
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 Yarm
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, depending on the repair.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you work in Yarm?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Yarm from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 frequently lifts.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
