Bath repair at your home in LA22
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks in an acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy.
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, 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.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to LA22. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Landlords, agents and businesses in LA22
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
Common questions in LA22
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover LA22?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to LA22 and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
