Bath repair in Crosthwaite without replacing anything
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 and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a chip where the taps sit and deep scratches in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Crosthwaite questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you cover Crosthwaite?
We do. We send a technician to Crosthwaite for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Crosthwaite get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Crosthwaite
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need bath repair in Crosthwaite?
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
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.
