Bath Repair for Drummersdale homes
Damaged bath in Drummersdale? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust by the waste and overflow
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
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.
About our bath repair in Drummersdale
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and rust spots around the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Drummersdale
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
