Bath repair in Bardsea without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. We’re often asked to fix damage beneath the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What else we do in Bardsea
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
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.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
