Bath repair at your home in Bretherton
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We are often asked to fix impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, in pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and acrylic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Bretherton
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Chips on the rim or sides
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Bretherton
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does bath repair cost in Bretherton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bretherton.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend 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. Remove it before the repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bretherton. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
