Bath repair in Heath Charnock, done in place
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and people most often call us about cracks in an acrylic bath and deep scratches in acrylic.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Heath Charnock and across Lancashire.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Heath Charnock
Will the repair last?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What do you need from me?

Do you work in Heath Charnock?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Heath Charnock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heath Charnock use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Heath Charnock
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Heath Charnock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Heath Charnock
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A chip where the taps sit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips along the edge of the bath
