Bath Repair in Bolster Moor
We travel to Bolster Moor for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bolster Moor, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How we handle bath repair in Bolster Moor
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. We work on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and damage beneath the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What else we do in Bolster Moor
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Bolster Moor
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Bolster Moor: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
