How bath repair works in PR6

Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are chips under the taps and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
We clean, key and degrease the damage.
Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
We match both the colour and the shine.
We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.

What you’ll pay

Our bath repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Local landmarks in Adlington

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Holy Cross Catholic High School, St Paul's Church and Adlington St Paul's Church of England Primary School, among other places. There is a railway station in Adlington itself: Adlington (Lancashire) station. A little further out are Blackrod Castle Croft (2.1 miles south-east) and Chorley and South Ribble District General Hospital (3.6 miles north). Open spaces near Adlington include Healey Nab.

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.

Common reasons people in PR6 contact us are:

Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Chips along the edge of the bath
Snagging damage from a refit
A kit repair that didn’t last

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim usually crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. A repair skips all of it.

Questions to ask before booking

Whether the price covers travel
Whether a trained technician does the job
What preparation is included
Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
How many items we do on one visit
The type of damage
Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Where you are, by postcode
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
One picture of the whole bath

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PR6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in PR6

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?

Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Do you come to PR6?

We do. We send a technician to PR6 for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
