Bath repair in Eccleston, done in place
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all repaired in place, normally in one visit. We work on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people contact us are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and chips on the rim or sides.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Do not leave razors, cans or hair grips in the bath, because they can mark the enamel. And fix dripping taps promptly.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through. Water under the bath can damage the floor and the ceiling below.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Eccleston
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the repair show?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Eccleston. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WA10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s 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. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Eccleston
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex until the acrylic gives way.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Chips under the taps
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
