Blackburn's textile heritage created streets of terraced houses built for mill workers between 1850-1920. Areas like Audley, Bank Top, and the Cathedral Quarter contain thousands of these properties, many with original cast iron baths that are architectural features worth preserving.
These heavyweight baths, often with decorative feet and rolled rims, were built to last centuries. However, the enamel coating chips and wears, especially around the waste where cleaning is frequent. Our restoration techniques, refined over 30 years, bring these period baths back to glory while maintaining their authentic character.
The narrow staircases and solid walls of Victorian terraces make bath replacement particularly challenging. Getting a new bath upstairs often requires removal of windows or doors. Our in-situ repair avoids this disruption entirely, completing most jobs in just 2-3 hours.
Blackburn's rapid post-war expansion created estates like Shadsworth, Higher Croft, and Mill Hill. These 1950s-70s developments used pressed steel baths as standard - durable but prone to chips when heavy objects are dropped. After 50+ years, most show enamel thinning, rust spots, and impact damage.
The town's regeneration, including the £66 million Cathedral Quarter and Freckleton Street developments, brought modern apartments with acrylic and composite baths. These lighter materials crack rather than chip, requiring flexible repair compounds that move with the bath during use.
Darwen, merged with Blackburn in 1974, adds its own character with stone-built properties on the Pennine slopes. The harder water here creates limescale challenges, while temperature variations cause bath movement requiring specialized repair techniques we've perfected for local conditions.
