DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are 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.
Bath repair in Clifton without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rusty patches near the plughole and scuffs and scratches in the surface.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Clifton
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the day after. We confirm the time before we leave.
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.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Halton, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Should you replace it?
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. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Signs you need bath repair in Clifton
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Chips caused by builders
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Comparing quotes

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Clifton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
