Bath repair in Clifton, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and deep scratches in acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Common problems we fix in Clifton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Clifton. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Clifton questions
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We cover the whole UK, including Clifton and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Clifton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Clifton and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are there extra charges for Clifton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
For a price in Clifton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
