How bath repair works in CW9
We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which is far cheaper than replacing a fitted bath and the tiles around it. You can generally use the bath the following day. We work on acrylic, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about a chipped rim or side and a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting.
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the bath and the floor around it.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, usually the next day.
What it costs in CW9
Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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.

How the damage happens
A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Landlord and trade work in CW9
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
- If an acrylic bath flexes, have its feet adjusted
Look after the repair the same way as the bath: a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs. Avoid scourers and gritty cream cleaners.
A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Water gets to the metal and rust starts, and a rust spot is a bigger repair than a clean chip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in CW9 get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Your questions about bath repair in CW9
Will I be able to see the repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including CW9 and the rest of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
