Bath repair at your home in St Annes
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can typically use the bath the day after. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and snagging damage from a refit, on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Advice
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Annes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
Your questions about bath repair in St Annes

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.
