How we handle bath repair in Bowscar
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Bowscar
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowscar
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Bowscar
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bowscar. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
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.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Bowscar questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Bowscar and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Bowscar?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bowscar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Repair or replace in Bowscar?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
