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’s level with the surrounding surface. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bolton as everywhere else we work.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Bolton
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Bolton
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bolton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
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.
Questions from Bolton
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
