Bath repair for Croxteth homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re 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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

About our bath repair in Croxteth

Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the day after. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath doesn’t move. We work on cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused by builders and a kit repair that didn’t last.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel

Different materials, different repairs

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 is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.

Common problems we fix in Croxteth

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A cracked acrylic bath
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips along the edge of the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended

Questions from Croxteth

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What affects the price in Croxteth

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
