Our bath repair service in OL13
We see every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We are often asked to fix rust spots around the plughole and holes from dropped items, across acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
What you will pay
Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For rail, the closest station is Walsden station, about 3.9 miles east of the centre.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to OL13. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in OL13
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A chip where the taps sit
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Rinse it down after each bath
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in OL13
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from OL13
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your OL13 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
