Bath chip & crack repair in Wheelton, Lancashire
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Wheelton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rust spots around the plughole
Common problems we fix in Wheelton
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage beneath the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy

About our bath repair in Wheelton
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Typical jobs include impact holes in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and cast iron enamel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding

Landlord and trade work in Wheelton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Wheelton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. 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.
