Bath repair at your home in Aglionby
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can generally bathe again the day after. You won’t need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Signs you need bath repair in Aglionby
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Damage beneath the taps
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What bath repair costs

- Unusual colours or finishes

Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Repairing versus replacing in Aglionby
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Common questions in Aglionby
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
