Bath chip & crack repair in Irby Hill, Wirral
We travel to Irby Hill for chip and crack repairs to enamel, acrylic and cast iron baths. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked acrylic bath
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.
How we handle bath repair in Irby Hill
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, and on acrylic, a crack keeps spreading while the bath flexes. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. If you’re dealing with a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips under the taps, we can help, on cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Irby Hill
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often 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 give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Irby Hill
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On steel and cast iron baths, any chip down to the metal will start to rust.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips caused by builders
- Chips under the taps
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- Holes from dropped items

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wirral and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Irby Hill
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

FAQs for Irby Hill
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will the repair show?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will the repair last?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Irby Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Usually the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
