About bath repair in Cheshire West and Chester

Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for holes from dropped items and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, in whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How the damage happens

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips under the taps
  • An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
