About our bath repair in Mere Side
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a chip where the taps sit, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Mere Side
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Mere Side.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Should you replace it?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy

When a repair is not the answer
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
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we are called out for in Mere Side
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A kit repair that didn’t last

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Mere Side. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
