Bath chip & crack repair in Saltney Ferry, Flintshire
Damaged bath in Saltney Ferry? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- Have new chips seen to early
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not scrub with anything abrasive
Care for the repair the same way as the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
Small chips are quick to repair. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
About our bath repair in Saltney Ferry
We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. We’re often asked to fix rusty patches near the plughole and a kit repair that didn’t last, on acrylic, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath repair in Saltney Ferry
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes, we match coloured baths too. The colour is tinted by hand on the day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Saltney Ferry included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron is heavy and rigid, with a fused enamel surface. Chips can rust if left, but the body of the bath lasts a very long time, so it’s always worth repairing.
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Saltney Ferry
Rust usually starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chipped rim or side
- Holes from dropped items
