- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

How we handle bath repair in Meols Cop
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. If you are dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and a kit repair that didn’t last, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Meols Cop
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meols Cop as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Common problems we fix in Meols Cop
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Impact holes in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.

Meols Cop questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
