How we handle bath repair in Four Lane Ends
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include a hole punched through by something heavy and chips along the edge of the bath, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What affects the price in Four Lane Ends
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Repair or replace in Four Lane Ends?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Four Lane Ends questions
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Four Lane Ends. Prices do not change with location.
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.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
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.
Do you need bath repair in Four Lane Ends?
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
