What we do, step by step

- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Bath repair in Great Barrow without replacing anything
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Common call-outs are for hairline or through cracks in acrylic and chips on the rim or sides, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Great Barrow
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Remove it before the repair.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
