When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes two to three hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips under the taps
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PR7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath repair in Charnock Richard

Are there extra charges for Charnock Richard?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Do you work in Charnock Richard?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Charnock Richard from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?

Yes, we do this often. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long before I can use the bath?

Generally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
