About our bath repair in Tebay
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 fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We are often asked to fix chips under the taps and a hole punched through by something heavy, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tebay. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tebay, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Tebay
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
Repair or replace in Tebay?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Tebay
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tebay as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Most clients in Tebay get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
