How we handle bath repair in Duddon Heath
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with holes from dropped items and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Duddon Heath and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Duddon Heath
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Common reasons people in Duddon Heath contact us are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips on the rim or sides
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Duddon Heath?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Typically it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Duddon Heath questions
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What affects the price in Duddon Heath
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Duddon Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CW6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
