Bath repair at your home in Huxley
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel enamel, acrylic and cast iron enamel, and common reasons people contact us are impact holes in acrylic and deep scratches in acrylic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Huxley
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust by the waste and overflow
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
There is nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What affects the price in Huxley
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Huxley. What changes the price is:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Huxley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Huxley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Huxley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Questions from Huxley
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cheshire West and Chester.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.
I tried a repair kit. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
