How we handle bath repair in Sollom
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with snagging damage from a refit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can normally put it right, on roll-top & freestanding, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sollom and across Lancashire.

Your questions about bath repair in Sollom
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lancashire.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Sollom. Prices do not change with location.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
If you’re in Sollom and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Most customers in Sollom get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath repair in Sollom
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
