Bath repair at your home in YO42
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We’re often asked to fix deep scratches in acrylic and a hole punched through by something heavy, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath repair
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A chipped rim or side
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Landlords, agents and businesses in YO42
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Should you replace it?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
YO42: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover YO42?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to YO42 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
