Bath repair at your home in WN6
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include rust spots around the plughole and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, in cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in WN6 use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
What we are called out for in WN6
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
Common reasons people in WN6 contact us are:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A chip where the taps sit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Chips on the rim or sides
Common questions in WN6
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wigan.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
