Bath Repair for Little Lever homes

- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
About our bath repair in Little Lever
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are a hole punched through by something heavy and rust by the waste and overflow.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bolton.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Little Lever: your questions answered
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What affects the price in Little Lever
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Little Lever
Rust normally starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips caused by builders
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Holes from dropped items

- How to look after the finish

- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Lever
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
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.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A steel bath rusted through
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
