Your questions about bath repair in Bootle
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Bootle is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bootle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bootle. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, with a fused enamel surface. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
