How we handle bath repair in Gallantry Bank
A repair fixes just the damaged area and blends it into the rest of the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. Whether it’s scratches you can feel with a fingernail and chips under the taps, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Have new chips seen to early
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in a single visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Do you need bath repair in Gallantry Bank?
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips under the taps

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about bath repair in Gallantry Bank
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the repair show?
On a bath in good condition, a colour-matched repair is very hard to spot. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Do you cover the entire of Cheshire West and Chester?
All of Cheshire West and Chester, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can use the bath?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
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 will take it from there. The job generally runs to two to three hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, which makes it well worth repairing.
