Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
How we handle bath repair in Eccleston
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Typical jobs include cracks in an acrylic bath and rusty patches near the plughole, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Eccleston and the surrounding area
Eccleston is about 4 miles south of Leyland, in Lancashire. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Eccleston is one of 482 towns and villages in Lancashire where we work. We work right across the region, from Eccleston to Liverpool (18 miles away).
We cover every part of PR7 and the streets around it. Whether you live on The Green, New Mill Street and Richmond Road or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. If you are just outside Eccleston, we cover Heskin (1 mile south-west), Heskin Green (1 mile south-east), Ulnes Walton (1 mile north), Shaw Green (1 mile north) and Towngate (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Preston (8 miles north), Chorley (4 miles east), Lytham St Anne's (14 miles north-west), Bamber Bridge (6 miles north-east), Leyland (4 miles north) and Fulwood (10 miles north).

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Eccleston
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Eccleston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
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. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
