Bath repair at your home in Vulcan Village
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with rusty patches near the plughole and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and pressed steel enamel alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, to keep water out. Take it off before we arrive.
When to call us in Vulcan Village
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage is not always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
Common reasons people in Vulcan Village contact us are:
- Deep scratches in acrylic
- A cracked acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Holes from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

FAQs for Vulcan Village
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover the whole of St Helens?
We cover the whole UK, including Vulcan Village and the rest of St Helens. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?
Most of the time. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so access behind the panel is important.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
In most cases. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
