Bath repair in Page Bank, done in place
Whatever has happened to the bath, we aim for the same result: a smooth, solid repair that blends in. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are rust by the waste and overflow and chips along the edge of the bath.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Page Bank as everywhere else we work.

Page Bank: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Page Bank?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Store metal items away from the bath
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Should you replace it?
Cast iron baths in particular are worth repairing: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is. Our bath repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we can’t get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Roll-top & freestanding

What we’re called out for in Page Bank
Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Common reasons people in Page Bank contact us include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- Chips under the taps
- A hole punched through by something heavy
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Page Bank and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
