Advice
How we handle bath repair in Gregson Lane
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about holes from dropped items and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Gregson Lane
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
Across the UK, so Gregson Lane is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Gregson Lane?
We do. We send a technician to Gregson Lane for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim typically crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
