Bath chip & crack repair in Backford Cross, Cheshire West and Chester
We travel to Backford Cross for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips along the edge of the bath

What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Bath repair in Backford Cross without replacing anything
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can typically use the bath the next day. If you are dealing with impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Backford Cross
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Backford Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.
Landlord and trade work in Backford Cross
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Backford Cross as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Backford Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Backford Cross
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Backford Cross?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
