Bath repair in Etterby without replacing anything
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Store metal items away from the bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What affects the price in Etterby
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Etterby. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What else we do in Etterby
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath

Etterby: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Etterby and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Etterby?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Etterby and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
