How we handle bath repair in Fisher's Row

It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Fisher's Row

Do you come to Fisher's Row?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Fisher's Row and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so early repair keeps the cost down.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Fisher's Row

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Fisher's Row

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Cracks in an acrylic bath

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What your bath is made of matters

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 repair chips early.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
