Bath repair in Rainhill without replacing anything
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 are not touched, and the repaired area is colour matched so it blends in. Our repair technicians work on cast iron enamel, acrylic and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and scratches in the surface and damage done while the bathroom was being fitted.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the damage against your photos and agree the plan.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Questions from Rainhill
How do I get a price for bath repair in Rainhill?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a bath repair permanent?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

What we’re called out for in Rainhill
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- A chipped rim or side
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
