Bath repair at your home in SK11

We have repaired just about every kind of bath damage: chips from dropped bottles, rust round the plughole, cracks in acrylic and holes from falling tools. Each is repaired in place. We regularly repair whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage beneath the taps and impact holes in acrylic.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
  2. Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
  3. We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
  4. We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
  5. We leave it to cure; you can typically use the bath the day after.

Cost

Our bath repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Around Chelford

Our clients here include homes close to St John the Evangelist's Church, Chelford CofE Primary School and The Egerton Arms and the streets around them. Chelford has its own railway station: Chelford station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Knutsford War Memorial Cottage Hospital (4.2 miles north-west) and Peover Superior (2.7 miles west). The countryside around Chelford includes Lindow Common.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing

Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: getting one out, particularly from an upstairs bathroom, is a big job, and a like-for-like replacement can be expensive. A repair keeps it in place.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Ensure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
  • Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
  • Do not scrub with anything abrasive

Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. After that, gentle cleaning keeps it looking good.

Rust under enamel spreads surprisingly quickly. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks in acrylic we cannot reach from underneath
  • A steel bath rusted through
  • A bath worn all over, where resurfacing makes more sense
