How we handle bath repair in Great Urswick
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage from a refit and chips along the edge of the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Great Urswick
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides

Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy 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.
What affects the price in Great Urswick
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
