About our bath repair in Windlehurst
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: rust is treated on metal baths, while cracks in acrylic are reinforced from underneath. Whether it’s holes from dropped items and deep scratches in acrylic, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel is thinner and lighter, with an enamel finish like cast iron. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so early repairs matter.
Signs you need bath repair in Windlehurst
Most bath damage comes from something dropped: a shampoo bottle, a shower head, a tile or a tool during a refit. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
- A hole punched through by something heavy
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
FAQs for Windlehurst
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
All of St Helens, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- A whole bath that is dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Whirlpool & spa baths

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We mix the colour on the day to match your bath’s exact shade.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WA10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Windlehurst. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- Get any new chip repaired before it rusts
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, beyond gentle cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Stop using the bath if a crack lets water through until it’s repaired. Leaks under a bath can damage floors and ceilings.
