Bath chip & crack repair in Storrs, Cumbria
Problem with your bath in Storrs? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Bath repair at your home in Storrs
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Signs you need bath repair in Storrs
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Storrs: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you come to Storrs?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Storrs. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Storrs. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Storrs get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
