What affects the price in Starr Gate

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Starr Gate. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Do you need bath repair in Starr Gate?

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Deep scratches in acrylic
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

Starr Gate questions

Which areas do you work in?

All of Blackpool, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Usually within a day, depending on the repair.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you’ll struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Starr Gate. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How much does bath repair cost in Starr Gate?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
