Bath chip & crack repair in Asby, Cumbria
Bath repair for Asby, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
How we handle bath repair in Asby
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Asby questions
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you cover Asby?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Asby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Do you need bath repair in Asby?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Asby
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a fitted bath normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Usually one visit, start to finish
Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes two to three hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
