Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Bothel
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bothel use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, 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 early repair keeps the cost down.
Your questions about bath repair in Bothel
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We cover the entire UK, including Bothel and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Bothel?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Bothel customers choose us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bothel, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
