Bath repair in Ellesmere Port without replacing anything
You can usually use the bath the next day. We repair just the damaged spot and colour-match it to the bath, which costs far less than replacing a fitted bath. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, pressed steel enamel and roll-top & freestanding, and common reasons people get in touch are damage caused while the bathroom was being fitted and chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Get any new chip seen to quickly, before rust can start.

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks in acrylic we can’t reach from underneath
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in Ellesmere Port
Nearly all the chips we see comes from something dropped: bottles, shower heads, tiles and tools. On enamelled baths, a chip that reaches the metal will start to rust once water gets in. Acrylic baths, on the other hand, tend to crack if they aren’t properly supported, usually near the taps or the waste.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Cracks and holes in acrylic baths
- Chips from dropped bottles, tiles or tools
- Rust spots where the enamel has gone
- Scratches and burns
