Bath repair in Great Corby without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Great Corby and across Cumbria.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Great Corby
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What else we do in Great Corby
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need bath repair in Great Corby
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Holes from dropped items
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
