About bath repair in CH44
Most of our bath repairs take a few hours, and the bath is back in use the following day. There is no need to book a plumber or tiler, because nothing is disconnected. Typical jobs include a cracked acrylic bath and a hole punched through by something heavy, across whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and pressed steel enamel.
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- We leave it to cure; you can generally use the bath the day after.
Cost
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and the bathroom stays as it is. Where the entire surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead.
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price bath repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are thick and very strong, finished with fired enamel. Chips can rust if left, but the bath itself lasts for generations, so it’s always worth repairing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
- A bath that moves underfoot, until its support is fixed
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
- Have new chips seen to early
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so early repair saves time and money.
CH44 questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a holed acrylic bath repairable?
Typically, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do you cover the whole of Wirral?
Everywhere in the UK, CH44 included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a bath repair durable?
A properly prepared repair should last a long time, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
