Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Winscales. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we are called out for in Winscales
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- A chipped rim or side
- Deep scratches in acrylic
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Repairing versus replacing in Winscales
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Common questions in Winscales
Do you work in Winscales?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Winscales and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Winscales included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
