About bath repair in YO14
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a chipped rim or side.
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. Plan for two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Local landmarks in Filey

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to YO14. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
FAQs for YO14
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
