How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
How we handle bath repair in Lane Ends
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that’s smooth, sound and hard to spot. We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and a kit repair that didn’t last.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lane Ends and across Cheshire East.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lane Ends, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
When to call us in Lane Ends
Heavy toiletries are the biggest single cause of chips, with dropped shower heads close behind. Fittings cause damage too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- A chip where the taps sit

Questions from Lane Ends

Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
How much does bath repair cost in Lane Ends?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a bath repair permanent?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.
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 repair chips early.

Repair or replace in Lane Ends?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
