Bath repair across St Helens: what to expect

Repairing baths is what we do most. Chips on the rim, rust around the waste and cracks in acrylic are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in a single visit. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.

What you’ll pay

Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we are called out for in St Helens

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Chips caused by builders
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Helens

If you manage property in St Helens, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Helens as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

St Helens questions

Do you cover the whole of St Helens?

All of St Helens, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
