Do you need bath repair in Armathwaite?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rust by the waste and overflow

How we handle bath repair in Armathwaite
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can normally bathe again the next day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about bath repair in Armathwaite
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Armathwaite?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can I have a bath again?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo an old repair?

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
What affects the price in Armathwaite
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
