About our bath repair in Four Gates
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s scuffs and scratches in the surface and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can help, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Four Gates and across Bolton.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Same prices wherever you are
See our prices page and bath cost comparison.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, 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.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Four Gates questions
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Four Gates?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
