Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Bath repair at your home in Huyton with Roby
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Our technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and whirlpool & spa baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a chip where the taps sit and holes from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Huyton with Roby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

When to call us in Huyton with Roby
Rust generally 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, a new panel is often needed, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 will get a fixed figure.
