About our bath repair in Kirkham

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with rust spots around the plughole and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and cast iron enamel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t 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. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Why repair rather than replace?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Signs you need bath repair in Kirkham

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips caused by builders

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Kirkham questions

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Kirkham?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
