How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Bath repair at your home in Haverigg
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rust by the waste and overflow.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Haverigg
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haverigg as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
When to call us in Haverigg
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Your questions about bath repair in Haverigg
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Have new chips seen to early
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
