Questions from Tarlscough
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Bath repair in Tarlscough, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or sides and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tarlscough as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your L40 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Tarlscough?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tarlscough. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
