How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
  • Do not leave a fresh chip for long
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Signs you need bath repair in Over Tabley

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Sooner or later, most baths pick up a chip.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Damage beneath the taps
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Impact holes in acrylic

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire East and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Over Tabley

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does bath repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will I be able to see the repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference, and we will tell you what to expect.

Is a bath repair permanent?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged bath for a new one normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, making good the tiles and panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
