Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: 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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Bath repair in Horrocks Fold without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rust by the waste and overflow, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Horrocks Fold and across Bolton.

Horrocks Fold: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the whole of Bolton?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What we’re called out for in Horrocks Fold
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
Customers typically contact us about:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Chips caused by builders
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Horrocks Fold. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Horrocks Fold
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
