How we handle bath repair in Altham
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Whether it’s chips on the rim or sides and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can typically put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Altham
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work in Altham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Altham and the rest of Lancashire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
