Bath repair in Carleton-in-Craven without replacing anything
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Whether it’s snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Carleton-in-Craven: your questions answered
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
There’s nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
