Common questions in Buckworth
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you work in Buckworth?
We do. We send a technician to Buckworth for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
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.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Bath repair at your home in Buckworth
Bath repair is our most common job. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips caused by builders and a hole punched through by something heavy.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Buckworth
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Buckworth
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckworth
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
