How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
About our bath repair in Baxenden
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. Whether it’s chips along the edge of the bath and damage beneath the taps, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Baxenden and across Lancashire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Baxenden
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Baxenden. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Baxenden
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 to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When to call us in Baxenden
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage beneath the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
