How we handle bath repair in Crooklands
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and a kit repair that didn’t last, in whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through

Crooklands questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Crooklands?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Crooklands and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Typically within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. 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, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Crooklands
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Crooklands
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
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.
