Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath repair in Dalton, done in place
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes is repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a kit repair that didn’t last and impact holes in acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Our repair technicians cover all 482 towns and villages in Lancashire. We work right across the region, from Dalton to Liverpool (about 13 miles away).
All of WN8 is covered. Local streets include Beacon Lane, Ashurst Road and Elmer's Green Lane.

The closest station to Dalton is Parbold station, roughly 1.7 miles north of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Wrightington Hospital (2.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Dalton includes Billinge Hill.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A steel bath rusted through

What affects the price in Dalton
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dalton. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WN8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Dalton questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do you cover Dalton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dalton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
