Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like is not cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Old Roan
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, depending on the repair.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this often. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Old Roan. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in Old Roan
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sefton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Cast iron enamel
- Acrylic
- Pressed steel enamel
What we are called out for in Old Roan
Baths take more knocks than people expect: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- A cracked acrylic bath
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.
Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so early repair keeps the cost down.
