Bath chip & crack repair in New Hutton, Cumbria
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths at your home in New Hutton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath repair at your home in New Hutton
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We are often asked to fix holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Hutton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Hutton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
When to call us in New Hutton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides

- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Most jobs done in one visit

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Have new chips seen to early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
