DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
How we handle bath repair in Chester Moor
You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site. Our repair technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and the jobs we see most are a chip where the taps sit and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Chester Moor questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you come to Chester Moor?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chester Moor. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Common problems we fix in Chester Moor
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the rim or sides
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Holes from dropped items
- Cracks in an acrylic bath

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Chester Moor
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chester Moor use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
