Common questions in Oldcastle Heath
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
In most cases. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so access behind the panel is important.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does bath repair cost in Oldcastle Heath?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Bath repair in Oldcastle Heath without replacing anything
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. If you’re dealing with impact holes in acrylic and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted, we can help.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
Common problems we fix in Oldcastle Heath
Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage beneath the taps
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A cracked acrylic bath

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
