Our bath repair service in CW1
Whether your bath is steel, cast iron or acrylic, we can repair it. Each material is repaired a little differently: metal baths need any rust dealt with first, and acrylic cracks need support from behind. Common call-outs are for damage beneath the taps and deep scratches in acrylic, on whirlpool & spa baths, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
Cost
Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlord and trade work in CW1
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and often freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the damage happens
Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Loose legs, no proper cradle or a floor that gives let the base flex.
Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
- Chips caused by builders
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rusty patches near the plughole
Your questions about bath repair in CW1
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?
We cover the whole UK, including CW1 and the rest of Cheshire East. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How long before I can use the bath?
Most baths can be used the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover CW1?
We do. We send a technician to CW1 for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
