Bath repair for Freshfield homes

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our bath repair in Freshfield

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and rust spots around the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Freshfield and across Sefton.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Have new chips seen to early

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

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos 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. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

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

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Freshfield

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and the bathroom stays exactly as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures 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

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
