Bath chip & crack repair in Farnworth, Halton
Damaged bath in Farnworth? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
There is nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Bath repair at your home in Farnworth
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about bath repair in Farnworth
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work in Farnworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Farnworth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
All of Halton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
