Bath repair across CA2: what to expect
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are often asked to fix scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landmarks near Carlisle
Typical jobs here are in homes near Our Lady and St Joseph's Church, Trinity School and Milbourne Arms Public House. You’ll also find Church of St Cuthbert with St Mary (under half a mile north) and Robert Ferguson Primary School (within half a mile south). There’s a railway station in Carlisle itself: Carlisle station. Nearby you’ll also find County Borough of Carlisle (under half a mile north) and Carlisle Castle (0.6 miles north). Open spaces near Carlisle include Thurstonfield Lough.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlord and trade work in CA2
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the damage happens
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
FAQs for CA2
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
