A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and rusty patches near the plughole, across roll-top & freestanding, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Onston as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Onston, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Onston questions

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you repair coloured baths?

Yes, coloured baths are no problem. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Think about the hidden costs of a new bath: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. A repair is one job, done in one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Onston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Onston clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

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’s what we repair.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes two to three hours for most chips in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Most clients in Onston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.

Do you need bath repair in Onston?

Damage during fitting is very common. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, often before anyone notices. Snagging repairs like these are a regular job for us.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Rusty patches near the plughole
  • Chips on the rim or sides
  • Damage beneath the taps

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
