About our bath repair in Ireby
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and rusty patches near the plughole, in whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Do you need bath repair in Ireby?
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.

Our work in Ireby
Ireby is about 13 miles south-east of Kendal, in Lancashire. Clients in Ireby get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, and a technician at your door on the day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ireby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
Take a look at our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Ireby questions
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ireby?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
