Bath repair at your home in Sandymoor
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. Most baths can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with snagging damage from a refit and deep scratches in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath repair in Sandymoor
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you come to Sandymoor?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sandymoor and the rest of Halton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Generally, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Take off the bath panel and check, or send us a photo.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- A steel bath rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Pressed steel enamel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
What your bath is made of matters
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What else we do in Sandymoor
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Sandymoor?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes two to three hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
