About bath repair in YO17
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. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and impact holes in acrylic.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
What it costs in YO17
Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Local landmarks in Malton
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Malton Community Primary School, Malton School and The Blue Ball Public House And Attached Outbuildings At Rear and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Malton itself: Malton station. Well-known places in the area include Malton Community Hospital (under half a mile west) and The Counting House Museum (less than half a mile south).
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in YO17
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
YO17: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath repair cost in YO17?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
