Bath repair at your home in Flimby
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We’re frequently asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Flimby and across Cumbria.

Common problems we fix in Flimby
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- A hole punched through by something heavy
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Flimby
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
