We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. You can usually use the bath the following day. If you’re dealing with rust by the waste and overflow and snagging damage from a refit, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in West Derby and across Liverpool.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
- Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Treat the repaired area like the rest of the bath: warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth. Keep scouring pads and gritty cleaners away from it.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
West Derby: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Frequently, yes, as long as we can get to the back of the crack to support it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Are there extra charges for West Derby?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
When can I have a bath again?
Generally within a day, depending on the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in West Derby
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West Derby. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

What else we do in West Derby
Do you need bath repair in West Derby?
Rust tends to begin where water collects, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A kit repair that didn’t last
Comparing quotes

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Loose enamel, rust and dirt are removed so the repair can bond.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- We tint the finish by hand to match the bath.
- The repair is polished to the same gloss as the bath and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
If you’re in West Derby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
