We work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and a kit repair that didn’t last.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a fitted bath generally means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it fixes just the damaged area in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Haydock: your questions answered
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do you cover the whole of St Helens?
We work UK-wide, so Haydock is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Haydock. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
- Cast iron enamel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Have new chips seen to early
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Rinse it down after each bath
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. 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.
