What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our bath repair in Cumberland
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. We regularly repair roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are rust by the waste and overflow and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we are called out for in Cumberland
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Cumberland customers choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Your questions about bath repair in Cumberland
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How much does bath repair cost in Cumberland?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
