How bath repair works in BB4
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips along the edge of the bath.
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes two to three hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What’s near Rawtenstall
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Mary's CofE Primary School Rawtenstall, Alder Grange School and Church of St Mary. Further afield, we also cover the area around Helmshore Mills Textile Museum (Higher Mill) (2.4 miles west) and Rossendale General Hospital (1.1 miles west). The countryside around Rawtenstall includes Hail Storm Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Landlords, agents and businesses in BB4
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in BB4 as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
FAQs for BB4
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB4 postcode.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, coloured baths are no problem. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
We cover the entire UK, including BB4 and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
