Bath repair at your home in Wray
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Whether it’s a chipped rim or side and impact holes in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace in Wray?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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, usually the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Our work in Wray
Wray is about 8 miles north-east of Lancaster, in Lancashire. We visit customers in Wray and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Wray is one of 482 places in Lancashire we cover. Our jobs stretch from Wray to Manchester (46 miles away).
Here we cover the LA2 postcode area. Whether you live on Main Street, Wennington Road and The Gars or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. We also cover the places around Wray: Hornby (1 mile north-west), Gressingham (2 miles north-west), Melling (2 miles north), Arkholme (3 miles north) and Tunstall (4 miles north).

Around Wray
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Holy Trinity Church and Wray with Botton Endowed Primary School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Wennington station, roughly 1.6 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Hornby Castle (1.1 miles north-west).
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Common questions in Wray
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, 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 you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When can I have a bath again?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
