Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Allonby, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Allonby questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What about rust by the waste?
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.
Do you work in Allonby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Allonby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When to call us in Allonby
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
