Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
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 generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath repair in Samlesbury Bottoms
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the next day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Samlesbury Bottoms and across Lancashire.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Samlesbury Bottoms use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Samlesbury Bottoms questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
We cover the whole UK, including Samlesbury Bottoms and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Samlesbury Bottoms?
We do. We send a technician to Samlesbury Bottoms for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
