Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
  • Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
  • Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before running a bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.

Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.

What affects the price in Rushton

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rushton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
  • Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
  • A steel bath rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding
  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Acrylic

If you manage property in Rushton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Rushton?

Replacing a fitted bath normally involves a plumber, removing the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and getting rid of the old bath. A repair deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Rushton questions

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very often. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will I be able to see the repair?

On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.

Something went through my bath. Can it be fixed?

Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, especially around the waste, so early repairs matter.

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take two to three hours for most chips.

  1. We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
  2. The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
  3. The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
  4. Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
  5. The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Most customers in Rushton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
