Bath repair in Keswick, done in place

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Repair or replace in Keswick?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. A repair deals only with the damage in a single visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Keswick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need bath repair in Keswick?

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Choosing a repair company

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlords, agents and businesses in Keswick

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
