Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A steel bath rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow two to three hours for most chips.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Signs you need bath repair in Claughton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
What affects the price in Claughton
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
