Bath repair at your home in Heaton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. If you’re dealing with a kit repair that didn’t last and cracks in an acrylic bath, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Heaton
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
