How we handle bath repair in Seatoller
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the following day. If you are dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Seatoller and across Cumbria.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Common questions in Seatoller
How do I get a price for bath repair in Seatoller?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA12 postcode.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a bath repair durable?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
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?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Seatoller, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Seatoller
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath

What affects the price in Seatoller
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
