Bath Repair in Catterall
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths for homes and businesses in Catterall and across Lancashire. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.

- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath repair in Catterall, done in place
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We are frequently asked to fix a hole punched through by something heavy and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Catterall: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Catterall?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually the next day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Catterall?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Catterall
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.

- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips along the edge of the bath
What your quote should include
