Bath repair in Sowerbutt's Green without replacing anything
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and people most often call us about scratches you can feel with a fingernail and hairline or through cracks in acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Have new chips seen to early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Do you need bath repair in Sowerbutt's Green?
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips caused by builders
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Sowerbutt's Green: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lancashire.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PR5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
