About our bath repair in Bull Hill
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. We’re often asked to fix a kit repair that didn’t last and holes from dropped items, on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, generally by the day after, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Bull Hill
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Bull Hill?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Do you cover the whole of Blackburn with Darwen?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
