How we handle bath repair in Blackpool
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in a single visit. Typical jobs include damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blackpool as everywhere else we work.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need bath repair in Blackpool?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused by builders
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

What else we do in Blackpool
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Blackpool and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
FAQs for Blackpool
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
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.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Blackpool, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackpool use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
