Bath repair near Orrell

Bath repair at your home in Orrell

You do not need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, whirlpool & spa baths and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and a cracked acrylic bath.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Orrell

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Orrell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  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. The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
  5. Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Orrell

Dropped items cause the majority of chips, and building work is a common culprit. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Chips caused by builders

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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 the part we put right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Orrell

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Orrell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Orrell

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including pastel and older colours.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover the whole of Liverpool?

We cover the whole UK, including Orrell and the rest of Liverpool. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you work in Orrell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Orrell. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
