Bath repair at your home in Upperby
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Upperby questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much does bath repair cost in Upperby?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA2 postcode.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Upperby
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upperby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Upperby
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chipped rim or side
What to look for in a quote

- What prep work is covered

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
