Bath repair in Clive without replacing anything
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. Whether it’s damage beneath the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can help, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Clive and across Cheshire West and Chester.

When to call us in Clive
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- 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 following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Clive
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Clive. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common questions in Clive
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How much does bath repair cost in Clive?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Often, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
