Bath repair in Fulwood, done in place

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and chips on the rim or sides.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Fulwood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Fulwood

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Fulwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

Signs you need bath repair in Fulwood

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • A chip where the taps sit

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Fulwood

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Fulwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
