The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
  2. Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
  3. We build up the filler in layers, shaping it to the bath.
  4. We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
  5. The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Bath repair at your home in Rock Ferry

A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. Our repair technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about rust by the waste and overflow and a hole punched through by something heavy.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Rock Ferry

Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, any chip down to the metal lets water in, and rust follows.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Chips along the edge of the bath
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chip where the taps sit

Our hiring checklist

Rock Ferry questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Rock Ferry?

We do. We send a technician to Rock Ferry for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does bath repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Honest limits

  • Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
  • Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through

What affects the price in Rock Ferry

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rock Ferry. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Liverpool and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
  • Don’t scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. A chip the size of a fingernail can become a much larger patch if it’s left for months, so it pays to deal with it early.
