Nethertown questions
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Nethertown?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Nethertown and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How much does bath repair cost in Nethertown?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What we’re called out for in Nethertown
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

What else we do in Nethertown
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Nethertown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- 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 generally use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
