About bath repair in CH2

We repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic baths. The method changes with the material: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and the jobs we see most are deep scratches in acrylic and damage beneath the taps.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

We clean the area and remove any loose enamel or rust.
Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Prices in CH2

Around Newtown

Around Newtown, we work in homes near Grosvenor Park, Newton Primary School and Chester New Church. Other local landmarks include Chester International School (1.1 miles south), Town Crier pub (under half a mile south) and Commercial School (0.6 miles west). There’s a railway station in Newtown itself: Chester station. A little further out are Countess of Chester Hospital (0.9 miles north-west) and Chester (1.2 miles south). Not far away are Hockenhull Platts.

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. There’s no rust, but cracks, holes and scratches happen, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including CH2. What changes the price is:

How many areas need work
Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The material and finish
Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
Where you are, by postcode
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Signs you need bath repair

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the bath move until the acrylic gives way.

Look out for these signs:

Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Cracks in an acrylic bath
An old repair that has yellowed or come loose
Chips caused by builders

Landlords, agents and businesses in CH2

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

CH2: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What about rust by the waste?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?

Often, 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.

Do you cover CH2?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to CH2 from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a bath repair durable?

It should, as long as the bath is firm and the area was prepared well. It’s covered by our one-year guarantee.
