Bath repair in Carlisle without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We regularly repair acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carlisle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Carlisle, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
When to call us in Carlisle
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
FAQs for Carlisle
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Carlisle?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CA2 postcode.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
More services for Carlisle
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
