About our bath repair in Allostock
Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all repaired in place, generally in a single visit. Our technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and scratches in the surface and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Allostock and across Cheshire East.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?
People often assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. Normally it doesn’t: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
Common questions in Allostock
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Frequently, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a picture.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for two to three hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
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 early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Allostock. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Allostock. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding
