FAQs for Upper Cumberworth
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need bath repair in Upper Cumberworth?
Rust generally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Upper Cumberworth get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
