How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Old Tebay and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Tebay as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Old Tebay
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we have done.
Do you come to Old Tebay?
We do. We send a technician to Old Tebay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Tebay
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
