Do you need bath repair in Chorley?
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips caused by builders
- A chipped rim or side
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Impact holes in acrylic

What else we do in Chorley
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Questions from Chorley
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Cheshire East?
We work UK-wide, so Chorley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chorley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
