Repair or replace in Halton-Lea-Gate?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Our bath repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
What we’re called out for in Halton-Lea-Gate
Rust usually starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Halton-Lea-Gate contact us include:
- Holes from dropped items
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- A cracked acrylic bath

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common questions in Halton-Lea-Gate
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Halton-Lea-Gate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Halton-Lea-Gate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
