About bath repair in YO10
We see every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel.
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Pricing in YO10
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the damage happens
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to YO10. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in YO10, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
YO10: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
