When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Frodsham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, typically the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Frodsham
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Usually. Send us a picture of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before running a bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
