Bath chip & crack repair in Salterswall, Cheshire West and Chester
Bath repair in and around Salterswall: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Don’t leave razors or cans standing in the bath
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Do not leave a chip on a steel or cast iron bath. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and 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 apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- We leave it to cure; you can normally use the bath the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

More about bath chip & crack repair
When to call us in Salterswall
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Holes from dropped items
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath rarely stops at the bath: tiles along the rim generally crack when it comes out, the panel may not fit the new one, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
