You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, mixing the colour on the day. If you’re dealing with chips on the rim or sides and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting, we can help.

Questions from Wavertree

Is a bath repair durable?

Yes, if it’s prepared properly and the bath is sound. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you fix rust around the plughole?

Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.

Can you redo an old repair?

Yes. We take out the old repair and do it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Will the repair show?

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

Can you repair a crack in an acrylic bath?

In most cases. We reinforce the crack from behind, then fill and refinish the front, so we need access under the bath.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Wavertree?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Whirlpool & spa baths
  • Cast iron enamel
  • Acrylic
  • Pressed steel enamel
  • Roll-top & freestanding

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  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, generally the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Wavertree, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Put a towel in the bath if you are working above it
  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Rinse it down after each bath

Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.

Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and water can get through to the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It costs far less than a new bath plus fitting, it takes one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wavertree. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Composite and resin

Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches are filled and matched, just like other baths.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
