How we handle bath repair in Kings Moss

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. Typical jobs include an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, across cast iron enamel, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in St Helens.

Rusty chip next to a bath plughole, before and after repair

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

What we are called out for in Kings Moss

Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • Rust by the waste and overflow
  • Chips under the taps
  • Chips on the rim or sides

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby

A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.

Don’t leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Wear across the whole surface, which needs re-enamelling
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about bath repair in Kings Moss

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you match an avocado or pink bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including older coloured suites.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of St Helens. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
