How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

How we handle bath repair in Orrell
Chips, cracks, rust spots and small holes can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. Nothing is unplumbed, the tiles aren’t touched, and the finish is matched to the rest of the bath. Whether it’s an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a hole punched through by something heavy, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Orrell
Damage during fitting is very common. Tools, tiles and fittings get dropped into the bath, frequently before anyone notices. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- A chip where the taps sit
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Landlords, agents and businesses in Orrell
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Orrell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Orrell
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why Orrell clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the entire UK

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water can’t get in. Take it off before we arrive.
Your questions about bath repair in Orrell
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the repair show?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On older, dull enamel the repair can look glossier than the area around it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Normally, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Is a bath repair durable?
It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It carries our one-year guarantee.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron enamel
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
