- 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 day after.
Before we arrive

Advice
Bath repair in Crosby without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. If you are dealing with scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips along the edge of the bath, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crosby
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crosby use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Crosby
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Crosby
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Have new chips seen to early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Crosby: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
