About bath repair in BL6

A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the next day. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and an old repair that has yellowed or come loose.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in BL6 as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the damage happens

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

Repairing versus replacing

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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath

Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
