Bath repair in Low Hesket, done in place
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
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
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Low Hesket
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work in Low Hesket?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Low Hesket and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Do you need bath repair in Low Hesket?
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
