About bath repair in OL15
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and rust spots around the plughole, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Prices in OL15
Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landmarks near Littleborough
Around Littleborough, we work in homes near Wardle High School, Red Lion pub and St Barnabas and the streets around them. Littleborough has its own railway station: Littleborough station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Butterworth (2.3 miles south) and Ellenroad Ring Mill Engine (2.9 miles south).
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
Common problems we fix in OL15
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What affects the price in OL15
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in OL15
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will I be able to see the repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
