Bath chip & crack repair in Heath, Halton
Chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths in Heath, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
Common problems we fix in Heath
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath is not properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Heath
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will I be able to see the repair?
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 charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Generally. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of Halton?
We work UK-wide, so Heath is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Heath. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
