You don’t need a new bath because of a chip. Our technicians fill, shape and refinish the damage, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. Whether it’s a cracked acrylic bath and scratches you can feel with a fingernail, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodside as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Common problems we fix in Woodside

Rust tends to begin where water collects, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips under the taps
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
  • Rust by the waste and overflow

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

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 is what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  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, normally the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Woodside

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Liverpool.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
  • Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
