Plungington questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Plungington included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Plungington, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
