The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Bath repair at your home in Bacup
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose, on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until it cracks.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chipped rim or side
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

Repairing versus replacing in Bacup
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bacup. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before booking
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
FAQs for Bacup
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
What affects the price in Bacup
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
