Bath repair in Crossgates, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Crossgates
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crossgates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common problems we fix in Crossgates
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crossgates
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
