DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Bath repair at your home in Pensby
Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for scuffs and scratches in the surface and a chip where the taps sit, on acrylic, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pensby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wirral and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow two to three hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What we are called out for in Pensby
Nearly all the chips we see start with something being dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On steel and cast iron baths, a chip that reaches the metal lets water in, and rust follows.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips under the taps
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Rinse it down after each bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, clean it as you would the rest of the bath, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
Repair or replace in Pensby?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Common questions in Pensby
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the next day. We will tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo an old repair?
Regularly. The old material comes out, any rust is treated, then we repair it properly.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
