Our bath repair service in CA23
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and you can typically bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Common call-outs are for a cracked acrylic bath and snagging damage from a refit, across pressed steel enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding.
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
Prices in CA23
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a price

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Signs you need bath repair
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Look out for these signs:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Damage beneath the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Most customers in CA23 get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about bath repair in CA23
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
