Bath repair in Rainford without replacing anything
A typical bath repair is a few hours’ work, and the bath is back in use the following day. You will not need a plumber or tiler, because the bath does not move. We regularly repair cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and a chipped rim or side.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in St Helens.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Rainford
Do you repair coloured baths?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of St Helens, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is a bath repair durable?
Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It carries our one-year guarantee.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
Leave the repair to cure for as long as we say before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, so water cannot get in. Take it off before we arrive.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- We leave it to cure; you can usually use the bath the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Rainford
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is frequently needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. Repairing the damage avoids all of that. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
