How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ince Blundell: your questions answered

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Ince Blundell?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Sefton?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Ince Blundell. Prices do not change with location.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it

There’s nothing special to do after a repair, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.

Do you need bath repair in Ince Blundell?

Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, closely followed by shower heads. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Acrylic

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
