What affects the price in Blackburn
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Blackburn. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Bath repair in Blackburn without replacing anything
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 next day. We are often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blackburn as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we’re called out for in Blackburn
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. 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:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Blackburn: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Blackburn included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Blackburn?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Blackburn?
We do. We send a technician to Blackburn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
