Our bath repair service in DN14

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. 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. Typical jobs include chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Rinse it down after each bath
Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in DN14

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Common reasons people in DN14 contact us are:

Cracks in an acrylic bath
Chips on the rim or sides
A chip where the taps sit
Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

DN14 questions

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover DN14?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to DN14. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
