Bath repair at your home in Wirral

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We work on pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and the jobs we see most are chips along the edge of the bath and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing

Many people think a damaged bath means a new one. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, and costs far less than the disruption of a replacement.

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.

Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.

How the damage happens

Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

Wirral: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Generally the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.

Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?

In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
