What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
About our bath repair in Ulverston
Repairing baths is what we do most. 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 one visit. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ulverston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
