About bath repair in L35
Repairing baths is what we do most. A chip by the taps, a crack in the base and a rust spot by the plughole are all fixed without removing the bath, generally in a single visit. We are often asked to fix chips along the edge of the bath and chips under the taps, across roll-top & freestanding, pressed steel enamel and acrylic.
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes two to three hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We tidy up and tell you when the bath can be used, generally the following day.
What you will pay
Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Near you in Prescot
In Prescot, that means homes near Stadt Moers Park, Eagle and Child pub and St Luke's Catholic Primary School. You’ll also find Prescot Parish Church (0.9 miles north-west), Saint Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School (within half a mile south-east), Prescot School (1.2 miles north-west) and St Paul (within half a mile west). The nearest railway station is Prescot station, about 0.5 miles north-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Prescot Shopping Centre (0.8 miles north-west) and Pilkington Glass Museum (2.9 miles north-east).
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Cracks in parts of an acrylic bath we cannot get to from below
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store metal items away from the bath
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine.
Small chips are quick to repair. Leave them and they collect dirt, stain and, on metal baths, rust, so early repair saves time and money.
What bath repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. Repairing it leaves it where it is.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
Your questions about bath repair in L35
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is a cracked acrylic bath repairable?
Normally, yes, if we can reach the underside to reinforce it. Check under the bath panel, or send us a picture.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
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.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
