About bath repair in YO26
We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place with a one-year guarantee. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and impact holes in acrylic, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Cost
Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to YO26. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
FAQs for YO26
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, YO26 included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to YO26?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to YO26. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for YO26?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
