Bath repair in Flaxpool without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. 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 pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and cracks in an acrylic bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Flaxpool
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Flaxpool, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Flaxpool
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Flaxpool
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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 is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
