About our bath repair in Salterforth
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Salterforth
Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Snagging damage from a refit
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Salterforth: your questions answered
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Frequently, if there is access underneath. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Salterforth
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
