DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fence
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fence use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Fence, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What we are called out for in Fence
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- A chip where the taps sit
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A steel bath rusted through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Our work in Fence
Fence is about 2 miles west of Nelson, in Lancashire. We travel to customers in Fence, so there’s no workshop to go to. We work in all 482 towns and villages across Lancashire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Fence to Manchester (25 miles away).
All of BB12 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You will find streets such as Hoarstones Avenue, Wheatley Lane Road and Wheatcroft Avenue, and we cover them all. Neighbouring places we cover include Wheatley Lane (1 mile north-east), Spen Brook (1 mile north), Newchurch in Pendle (1 mile north), Higham (1 mile south-west) and Brierfield (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Burnley (3 miles south), Accrington (7 miles south-west), Rawtenstall (9 miles south), Colne (4 miles north-east), Clitheroe (6 miles north-west) and Haslingden (10 miles south).

A little further out are Hapton Castle (4.4 miles south-west) and Pendle Community Hospital (2.2 miles east). The countryside around Fence includes Rowley Lake and Towneley Castle Hill.
Your questions about bath repair in Fence
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What does bath repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Fence. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Fence
Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
