Bath repair for Chorley homes

How we handle bath repair in Chorley

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’re frequently asked to fix holes from dropped items and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Questions from Chorley

How invisible is a bath repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.

Is a bath repair durable?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps it last.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store metal items away from the bath
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chorley. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath repair in Chorley

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Snagging damage from a refit

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
