How we handle bath repair in Giggleswick
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked acrylic bath and chips caused by builders.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Giggleswick questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Giggleswick
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- Rusty patches near the plughole
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
