Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Loveclough
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lancashire.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
What affects the price in Loveclough
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Loveclough. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Most clients in Loveclough get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Loveclough
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
When to call us in Loveclough
A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips under the taps
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
