About our bath repair in Crosby

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include hairline or through cracks in acrylic and rusty patches near the plughole, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath repair in Crosby

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Crosby?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Crosby. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Crosby

Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim normally crack when it comes out, a new panel is frequently needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crosby

For anyone letting property in or around Crosby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use

Don’t leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, as they can leave rust marks. And fix dripping taps promptly.

If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
