Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
How we handle bath repair in Bolton
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with cracks in an acrylic bath and chips along the edge of the bath, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and pressed steel enamel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Bolton questions
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Bolton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

When to call us in Bolton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Chips on the rim or sides

Should you replace it?
Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Generally it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why Bolton customers choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bolton. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bolton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
