How bath repair works in LA10
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Cost
Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in LA10
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage beneath the taps
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Questions from LA10
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for LA10?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide, and that includes LA10. Prices don’t change with location.
