Bath repair at your home in Kentrigg
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for cracks in an acrylic bath and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, across whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kentrigg and across Cumbria.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Signs you need bath repair in Kentrigg
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Rusty patches near the plughole

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Kentrigg
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kentrigg

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentrigg as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Questions from Kentrigg
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kentrigg. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
