Bath repair in Upton-by-Chester without replacing anything

We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath. Most baths can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Upton-by-Chester?

What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive
  • Have new chips seen to early
  • Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early

For the first few days, keep heavy bottles off the repaired spot. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

FAQs for Upton-by-Chester

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a chip on a coloured bath?

Yes. The colour is mixed on site to suit your bath, including pastel and older colours.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron is heavy and rigid, finished with fired enamel. A chip down to the iron can rust, but the bath itself lasts for generations, which makes it well worth repairing.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. There is no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Do you need bath repair in Upton-by-Chester?

Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • Snagging damage from a refit
  • A chip where the taps sit
  • Deep scratches in acrylic

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
