Trusted bath repair in Over Peover

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

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 is the part we put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

For damage in one or two places, a repair is the obvious choice. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Our bath repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Over Peover. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
  3. The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of 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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WA16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Store metal items away from the bath

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust sets in.

Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.
