Bath repair in Northwich

Bath repair in Northwich without replacing anything

Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There’s no plumbing to disconnect, your tiles stay as they are, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath repair in Northwich

A cracked acrylic bath generally wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Hairline or through cracks in acrylic

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Northwich

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will the repair last?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

In most cases. Send us a photo of the hole and one from under the bath if you can.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long does the repair take to cure?

Typically the next day. We confirm the time before we leave.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take two to three hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northwich as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Northwich, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Store metal items away from the bath

A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Skip bleach and gritty creams and give it a rinse after each bath.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Should you replace it?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Composite and resin

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