Our bath repair service in YO16

A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about damage beneath the taps and rust by the waste and overflow.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. Once it has cured, generally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.

Cost

Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Common problems we fix in YO16

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Snagging damage from a refit

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in YO16 as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Should you replace it?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is.

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

FAQs for YO16

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
