Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

Why repair rather than replace?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Accrington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Accrington: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
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.

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BB5 postcode.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Accrington.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Common problems we fix in Accrington
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chipped rim or side

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Accrington. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
