How bath repair works in SK12
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. On steel and cast iron, exposed metal starts to rust, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Typical jobs include a kit repair that didn’t last and rust by the waste and overflow, across acrylic, whirlpool & spa baths and roll-top & freestanding.
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage against your pictures and agree the plan.
- 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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It costs less, takes less time and causes far less upheaval, and you keep the bath you chose. If the whole surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we will tell you.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
How the damage happens
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else, with dropped shower heads close behind. Taps and wastes cause problems too: water sits around them, and any chip there soon rusts.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Deep scratches in acrylic
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Get a dripping tap fixed promptly
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Store metal items away from the bath
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and try not to drop heavy bottles on the repair. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.
What affects the price in SK12
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
- Acrylic cracks with no access behind them
FAQs for SK12
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long before I can use the bath?
Normally by the following day, though it depends on what we’ve done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cheshire East, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
