Bath repair at your home in Picton
Most bath damage, from chips and cracks to rust spots and holes, can be repaired with the bath left exactly where it is. There is no plumbing to disconnect, the tiles aren’t touched, and the repaired area is colour-matched so it blends in. We work on roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chip where the taps sit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Picton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Picton: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
Often, if there’s access underneath. We back the hole, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Normally by the following day, depending on the repair.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CH2 postcode.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
