Need bath repair in Maghull?

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Our bath repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

Bath repair at your home in Maghull

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and chips caused by builders, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  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, generally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Maghull

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Maghull

Is a bath repair permanent?

Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and it’s guaranteed for a year. Gentle cleaning helps.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your L31 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes, we match coloured baths too. We tint the finish to your bath on site.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot

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.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Maghull, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
