Bath repair at your home in Whalley Banks
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips caused by builders and a chipped rim or side, on cast iron enamel, acrylic and pressed steel enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Whalley Banks questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Whalley Banks is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work in Whalley Banks?
We do. We send a technician to Whalley Banks for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Whalley Banks?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BB7 postcode.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we’re called out for in Whalley Banks
A cracked acrylic bath usually wasn’t supported properly. Legs that are not adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips under the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips on the rim or sides

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
