How we handle bath repair in Bailrigg
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chipped rim or side.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bailrigg and across Lancashire.

What we are called out for in Bailrigg
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What else we do in Bailrigg
Landlord and trade work in Bailrigg
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
What bath repair costs

Questions from Bailrigg
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
