Bath repair across L22: what to expect

We’ve repaired just about every kind of bath damage: dropped-bottle chips, plughole rust, acrylic cracks and impact holes. All of it is repaired where the bath stands with a one-year guarantee. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage done while the bathroom was being fitted and scratches you can feel with a fingernail.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the bath and the floor around it.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  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 next day.

What it costs in L22

Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landmarks near Waterloo

Around Waterloo, we work in homes near Sacred Heart Catholic College, St Edmund's and St Thomas' Catholic Primary School and Potter's Barn. Nearby too are The Volunteer Canteen pub (within half a mile south-west), St John's Church (less than half a mile north-east) and Adult Education Centre (0.7 miles south-east). There’s a railway station in Waterloo itself: Waterloo (Merseyside) station. A little further out are Clock View Hospital (3.1 miles south-east) and New Strand Shopping Centre (2.3 miles south-east). Not far away are Crosby Marina and Cabin Hill National Nature Reserve.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
  • Check that an acrylic bath does not move when you stand in it
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a fresh chip for long

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.

A chip on a metal bath shouldn’t be left. Once water reaches the metal, rust begins, turning a quick repair into a bigger one.

What affects the price in L22

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to L22. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for L22. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in L22, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Metal that has corroded all the way through
  • A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
  • Acrylic cracks with no access behind them

Common problems we fix in L22

The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Acrylic baths crack for a different reason: the bath isn’t properly supported, so it flexes under weight.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Holes from dropped items
  • Scuffs and scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused by builders
  • A kit repair that didn’t last

L22 questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you come to L22?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to L22 and the rest of Liverpool. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a hole in a bath?

Usually, yes, if we can reach behind it. The hole is backed, filled and refinished to match.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
