Bath repair at your home in YO51

Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, usually in a single visit. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the next day.

Pricing in YO51

Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in YO51, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for YO51

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

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.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
