Bath repair in Duddon, done in place

Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. A repair stops both. If you are dealing with a chipped rim or side and scuffs and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and cast iron enamel alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

What we’re called out for in Duddon

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Duddon questions

Can you repair a failed DIY repair?

Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Mention it when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Duddon. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repairing versus replacing in Duddon

A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A steel bath rusted through
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
