Bath repair at your home in Great Altcar
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on pressed steel enamel, cast iron enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or sides and rusty patches near the plughole.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and water can get through to the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Great Altcar questions
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Altcar. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
