Bath repair at your home in Appleby Magna
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the day after. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Your questions about bath repair in Appleby Magna
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Appleby Magna
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Appleby Magna
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Snagging damage from a refit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
