About our bath repair in Lakeside
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles are not touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are snagging damage from a refit and holes from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Your questions about bath repair in Lakeside
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much does bath repair cost in Lakeside?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA12 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Have new chips seen to early
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Repairing versus replacing in Lakeside
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath repair in Lakeside?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath

- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lakeside. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lakeside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
