Bath repair in Wardsend without replacing anything

Bath repair is our most common job. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, normally in one visit. Common call-outs are for scratches you can feel with a fingernail and a hole punched through by something heavy, across roll-top & freestanding, acrylic and cast iron enamel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Metal that has corroded all the way through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

Repair or replace in Wardsend?

People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it does not: a repair keeps the bath in service for years, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Our bath repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, normally the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Most clients in Wardsend get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • Cracks in an acrylic bath
  • A chipped rim or side
  • Chips under the taps
  • Holes from dropped items

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Wardsend: your questions answered

When can I have a bath again?

Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cheshire East.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How invisible is a bath repair?

We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we’ll tell you what to expect.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Wardsend, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, in much the same way.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Exposed steel rusts fast, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
