When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hoddlesden use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Hoddlesden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
