Bath repair in Hawkshead without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- 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
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
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.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
