Questions from Keswick
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the day after. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Bath repair in Keswick without replacing anything
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Repair or replace in Keswick?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in a single visit. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.
When to call us in Keswick
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended

- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
