Bath Repair for Legburthwaite homes
We travel to Legburthwaite for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Bath repair in Legburthwaite without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Legburthwaite and across Cumbria.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- 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.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Legburthwaite. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Legburthwaite, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage.
- 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.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common problems we fix in Legburthwaite
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
