Appleton: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the repair last?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps it last.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can rust on a bath be repaired?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Bath repair in Appleton, done in place
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and you can normally bathe again the following day. There’s no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. If you are dealing with deep scratches in acrylic and chips along the edge of the bath, we can help.

What affects the price in Appleton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Appleton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Appleton
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Appleton
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit.

Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
