Bath repair in Barnoldswick without replacing anything
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Our technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Signs you need bath repair in Barnoldswick
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Holes from dropped items
- A chip where the taps sit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Different materials, different repairs
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
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Barnoldswick
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
