How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Eccleston. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath repair in Little Eccleston
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We’re often asked to fix chips under the taps and chips on the rim or sides, across pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Little Eccleston
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Chips caused by builders
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched

Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Eccleston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

Advice
FAQs for Little Eccleston
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Little Eccleston?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Do you come to Little Eccleston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Eccleston and the rest of Lancashire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
