How we handle bath repair in Ball o' Ditton
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can generally use the bath the day after. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and chips caused by builders.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ball o' Ditton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
If you’re in Ball o' Ditton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Questions from Ball o' Ditton
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover the whole of Halton?
We work UK-wide, so Ball o' Ditton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Ball o' Ditton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
