We prepare the area properly, fill and shape it, then match the colour and gloss so it sits flush with the rest of the bath. Common call-outs are for a failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting and cracks in an acrylic bath, in acrylic, pressed steel enamel and whirlpool & spa baths.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by looking at the damage and confirming the plan with you.
- Any rust and loose material comes out, and the area is degreased.
- The damage is filled in layers and shaped to the curve of the bath.
- The colour is tinted by hand until it matches.
- Finally, it’s polished to match the shine and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Alkrington
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath repair in Alkrington
Glass and heavy bottles cause more chips than anything else. Fittings cause damage too: water collects there, so chips nearby rust quickly.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Rust by the waste and overflow
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Chips along the edge of the bath
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check that an acrylic bath doesn’t move when you stand in it
- Give the bath a quick rinse after use
- Don’t leave a fresh chip for long
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
Give the repair the full curing time we recommend before using the bath. From then on, mild cleaning is all it needs.
Until we visit, a strip of waterproof tape over the damage helps, to keep water out. Remove it before the repair.
Alkrington: your questions answered
When can I have a bath again?
Usually within a day, though it depends on what we have done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Cast iron baths especially are worth keeping: they’re very heavy to remove, especially upstairs, and replacing like for like isn’t cheap. A repair keeps it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alkrington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, just like other baths.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
