Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us

How we handle bath repair in Formby
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the next day. Whether it’s chips under the taps and rusty patches near the plughole, we can typically put it right, on whirlpool & spa baths, acrylic and cast iron enamel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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’s what we repair.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, typically by the next day, the bath is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your L37 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A steel bath rusted through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
If you are in Formby and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Landlord and trade work in Formby
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sefton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
