How we handle bath repair in Oakmere
You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day. Our repair technicians work on roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and common reasons people get in touch are a hole punched through by something heavy and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Oakmere and across Cheshire West and Chester.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
FAQs for Oakmere
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a photo.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and give it a rinse after each bath.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.
