When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Bath repair in Bolton, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Bolton
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Common problems we fix in Bolton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips caused by builders
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bolton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Bolton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
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.
