Landlords, agents and businesses in Haverthwaite
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Bath repair in Haverthwaite, done in place
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Haverthwaite
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Holes from dropped items
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
Comparing quotes

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
