Bath repair at your home in Howgill
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and holes from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Howgill
For anyone letting property in or around Howgill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Howgill
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Howgill
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Howgill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Howgill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Howgill?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
