Bath repair in Cleator Moor, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Cleator Moor
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Do you come to Cleator Moor?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cleator Moor. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Do you need bath repair in Cleator Moor?
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Holes from dropped items
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
