Yorkley questions

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you come to Yorkley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Yorkley and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

How we handle bath repair in Yorkley

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yorkley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Yorkley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Yorkley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
