Our bath repair service in PR3
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, your tiles stay as they are, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side.
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Local landmarks in Longridge
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Paul's Church, Longridge High School and Longridge Church of England Primary School, among other places. You’ll also find St Paul's Church (less than half a mile east) and The Durham Ox pub (within half a mile east). Further afield, we also cover the area around Ribchester Roman Museum (3.2 miles south-east) and Royal Preston Hospital (5 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Grimsargh Wetlands and Beacon Fell.
Signs you need bath repair
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips caused by builders
- Holes from dropped items
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in PR3
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in PR3, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
PR3: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
