How bath repair works in BB6
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are deep scratches in acrylic and cracks in an acrylic bath.
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, 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 clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Around Great Harwood
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to St Bartholomew's Church, The Hyndburn Academy and The Tavern and the streets around them. The closest station to Great Harwood is Rishton station, about 1.7 miles south. A little further out are Accrington Victoria Hospital (2.5 miles south-east) and Hapton Castle (3.5 miles east).
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Repairing versus replacing
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who will actually do the work
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Have new chips seen to early
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath without abrasive products.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath until it’s repaired. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What we’re called out for in BB6
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in BB6 contact us are:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
Your questions about bath repair in BB6
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
