Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
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. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Your questions about bath repair in Skinburness
How do I get a price for bath repair in Skinburness?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA7 postcode.
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?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
What we are called out for in Skinburness
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
