How bath repair works in YO23
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can generally bathe again the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items.
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Signs you need bath repair
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
YO23 questions
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you cover the entire of York?
Across the UK, so YO23 is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
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.
