Advice
How we handle bath repair in Bolton Green
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of 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. Whether it’s damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and rusty patches near the plughole, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in Bolton Green?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bolton Green. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PR7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
