About bath repair in YO24
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or sides and a chip where the taps sit, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 generally use the bath the following day.
What it costs in YO24

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Common problems we fix in YO24
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
FAQs for YO24
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
