Bath repair in Burton-in-Kendal without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with a chip where the taps sit and snagging damage from a refit, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common problems we fix in Burton-in-Kendal
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon 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.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Burton-in-Kendal
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
