When to call us in Newchurch in Pendle

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Impact holes in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. Normally it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Newchurch in Pendle

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newchurch in Pendle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Rinse it down after each bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long

Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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 are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newchurch in Pendle

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Newchurch in Pendle

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Generally. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
