How we handle bath repair in Banks

We work on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are scratches you can feel with a fingernail and rusty patches near the plughole.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
If water is getting through a crack, stop using the bath. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Banks
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sefton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage against your photos 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.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PR9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Common questions in Banks
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What we are called out for in Banks
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
