Your questions about bath repair in Far Sawrey
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Bath repair in Far Sawrey without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Other services in Far Sawrey
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
When to call us in Far Sawrey
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust spots around the plughole
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chipped rim or side

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- 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 mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
