Bath repair in Crank, done in place
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and a chipped rim or side, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Crank and across St Helens.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What affects the price in Crank
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crank. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath costs more than the bath itself: taking out the old one, plumbing, tiling, a panel and redecorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crank
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Crank
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the whole of St Helens?
The entire UK, including all of St Helens. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
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.
How much does bath repair cost in Crank?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long before I can use the bath?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
