Bath repair at your home in Chatburn
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles are not touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and a chip where the taps sit, in roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chatburn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Chatburn
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
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
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Chatburn get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Chatburn
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Signs you need bath repair in Chatburn
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chatburn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
