Why repair rather than replace?
For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, 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.

How we handle bath repair in Birkenhead
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for a hole punched through by something heavy and a chipped rim or side, in acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Birkenhead
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, often before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting

Birkenhead questions
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Birkenhead?
We do. We send a technician to Birkenhead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Will the repair last?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Birkenhead. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
