About our bath repair in Pleasington
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and impact holes in acrylic, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Blackburn with Darwen.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BB2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we’re called out for in Pleasington
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
