How we handle bath repair in Ribbleton
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. If you’re dealing with scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage beneath the taps, we can normally put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common questions in Ribbleton
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Ribbleton and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ribbleton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Ribbleton
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Damage beneath the taps
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A small chip is a quick job. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Ribbleton
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PR2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before you book
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
