What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes two to three hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures 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.
How to prepare

Advice
Bath repair at your home in Alvanley
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are cracks in an acrylic bath and a chip where the taps sit.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Alvanley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath repair in Alvanley?
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow

FAQs for Alvanley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire West and Chester.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does bath repair cost in Alvanley?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
Landlord and trade work in Alvanley
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alvanley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairing versus replacing in Alvanley
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your pictures
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
