Questions from Lathom
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Generally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Typically, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How we handle bath repair in Lathom
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. Typical jobs include snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lathom and across Lancashire.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we are called out for in Lathom
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
Repairing versus replacing in Lathom
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Lathom customers choose us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Lathom is about 3 miles north-west of Skelmersdale, in Lancashire. We travel to homes and businesses in Lathom and nearby villages, so there’s no workshop to go to. Lathom is one of 482 towns and villages in Lancashire we cover. We work right across the region, from Lathom to Liverpool (13 miles away).
Our technicians cover all of the L40 postcode area and the streets around it. We also travel to Ring o' Bells (1 mile north), Hoscar (1 mile north-east), Westhead (1 mile south-west), Burscough (1 mile north-west) and Brighouse Green (2 miles south).

Open spaces near Lathom include Martin Mere and WWT Martin Mere.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
