About our bath repair in Runcorn
A damaged bath doesn’t have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, mixing the colour on the day so the repair is hard to spot. Typical jobs include holes from dropped items and rusty patches near the plughole, on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips seen to early
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
Keep metal objects like razors and cans off the surface, because they can mark the enamel. A dripping tap should be fixed early, too.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Runcorn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Runcorn
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Common questions in Runcorn
How invisible is a bath repair?
The goal is a repair that blends in. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We take out the rust and any loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Do you cover the whole of Halton?
The whole UK, including all of Halton. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you need bath repair in Runcorn?
A cracked acrylic bath typically wasn’t supported properly. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until it cracks.
