Puddington: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work in Puddington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Puddington and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does bath repair cost in Puddington?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
When to call us in Puddington
Rust normally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips caused by builders
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Puddington
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, the panel may not fit the new one, and a plumber has to disconnect and reconnect everything. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
